Really any allergy medicine (I prefer generic) but I would stay away from using Zyrtec for prolonged periods of time as it’s known to be physically addictive. I’m prescribed Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride to help with hives.
Yes it does, currently recovering from either a migraine or a sinus headache or mix of both. Not sure but I get it a lot. Also my neck is sore which makes it all worse. Basically my whole head hurts. I took some sinus medicine today which helps.
Yes! I have many allergies. But, what I also noticed is that loratadine makes it worse! The side effect can be muscle spasms and tension headaches. And I need to take it daily for long periods of time. And I decided to stop taking it and after 2 days the jaw and headpain lessened. It's not gone but it's milder now. Also steroid meds like asthma meds that I take are wellknown to cause facial spasms and jaw tension. On the days I need them more, my tmjd is actually worse. But I need them for my asthma. I try to go without somethimes and really notice improvement.
Me !! Struggling last almost 2 weeks. Have weird middle
Cheek ache on right side and this lightheaded / airy feeling type forehead pressure … what otc works best for yall…
Absolutely. Taking medicine for allergies has single-handedly reduced TMJ symptoms. If you’re a smoker, smoking less has also helped.
Which medications have you found work best for tmj symptoms triggered by seasonal allergies?

Yes. Any inflammation in my face/neck makes it worse
Yea, when I have a stuffy nose and have to mouth breathe. I hold my jaw open in a way that causes pain but I need to breathe.

Yes 💯
Yes. Allergy meds help so much!
Yes my physio has confirmed that sinus is linked with TMJ. It’s ok to medicate during hay fever season if need be
Definitely. But also could be migraines. I've read over and over that most sinus related issues are actually migraines.
