Columnist Dr. Peter Gott Northwest Herald May 23, 2008 - Allergy season hits reader hard
Dear Dr. Gott: I suffer from headaches associated with allergies and have tried numerous medications without much success. I’m really in a bind to find something I feel safe taking.
Dear Reader: Allergies and headaches can be difficult to deal with and seem to affect us all at some point in our lives. Worse still, they seem to occur only at inappropriate times.
You may want to try Claritin, formerly a prescription medication now approved for over-the-counter sale. The newest prescription-turned-OTC is Zyrtec. If you stop the allergies, you should be able to prevent the headaches.
If you prefer homeopathic choices, I recommend Sinol, which is the first headache nasal spray registered with the FDA. It is purported to relieve headache pain and also comes in an allergy-relief spray. It supposedly reduces, prevents and/or stops sinus pain, as well as congestion and inflammation. It is nonaddictive and free of harsh side effects.
A pharmacist may be able to provide more information about the types of medication that will best control your symptoms and provide prompt relief. If you still have questions, make an appointment with your physician.

"I have been having great success with Sinol. Patients have called asking for Sinol and I direct them to your toll free number. Thanks" - Dr. Laura Rogers, Allergist
