Everyday, all day during school I will either have a stuffed nose or a runny nose, and will sneeze a lot, 10 times in a row occasionally. I'm 15 and was wondering if there were any effective medicines to reduce these symptoms? I've taken dayquil before school but that doens't help much.

and I would also like if it is over-the-counter.

you must take over the counter CLAIRATIN not sure of the spelling but it is the best meds. for your problem. you got to try it!
claritin is a little high but you will be thanking the world and everyone that made it.

Your single best bet is Loratadine (brand name "Claritin," but it's also sold under many store brands). A single 10mg tablet will take care of your sneezing, runny nose, etc for a day. It's over the counter too. It's much better than Dayquil.

Before Claritin became an over the counter drug, my allergist gave it to me with a presciption. But I also had allergy shots once a week. It is worth the try, if not call your doctor, there are alot of allergy presciptions out there. If that doesn't work, you will have to consider getting tested and taking shots, not bad though, they are the smallest of shots ever!

find an herbal store or a local herbalist and seek their help. Ask them for natural herbs, rather then medicines just to make you drowsey, etc. Herbs have less side effects, if any for most.
