Thanks. I already take Loratadine....but not on a regular basis. I'll take it daily for a week and see what happens.
The itchiness is not persistant...it comes and goes...it'll last a day...or half a day...then come back in a day or two and last two days.
The same thing happens to the tip of my nose...just inside my right nostril...it can last a day or two then disappear....it can be gone for weeks, then all of the sudden it's back for a day or two and then goes away again.
It is seriously very annoying.
