Hi,
Wal-itin D(loratadine) is the drug which used to combat allergic symptoms without curing underlying cause.
If you are having allergic symptoms to mountain cedar but what kind of symptoms appear that you have not mentioned.
You must avoid further contact with that allergen rather than just taking antiallergic drugs.
Although there are very good medicines like epinephrine,steroids, antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers are available in market to combat allergic symptoms.
To diagnose allergy,you must go to dermatologist and tell all the history of exposure.
If it is not due to allergy then you should consult physician to get proper diagnosis first and yes,never give any drugs on your own.
Always follow your doctor's instructions.
