terrible allergies

I suffer from terrible allergies. Most days I try to avoid taking meds but days like today my eyes are watering, I can't breathe, my throat itches, and my gums are swollen. What kinds of allergy medicine do you use that might be safer than others? If I have to take it I want to make sure I take the safest kind.

My doctor said it was okay to take over the counter claritin. I tried it for a couple days and it helped my nasal congestion but not my headaches which was what I really wanted.  If you're still unsure check with your doctor, but I believe claritin is fairly safe.
