Alicia,

I have just been dealing with two people close to me having bloody nose problems that never had them before. One is my best friend, a 10 year bc survivor who lives in the north and had an exceptionally long and dry winter, the other, my SO who has terrible allergies and takes an antihistamine regularly at this time of year. Our ENT friend said that dry nasal passages were the culprit. Could be the Claritan is working against you rather than for you with this. All the docs involved with my friends say to use the saline nose drops or spray regularly, to prevent the drying and cracking of the nasal membranes that lead to these awful nosebleeds.

Best of luck to you with your treatment,

Hopeful
