No advice here. Sorry you are suffering with allergies though. I'm currently dealing with an allergic reaction to something ? and have a nasty itchy rash over about 80% of my body.

I'm on prednisone for 6 days to help try to get it under control and I know there are a few issues with taking it after a concussion (Prednisone can cause an increase in blood pressure = increase in headache frequency and severity... possible increase in blood glucose in people with diabetes and tendencies).

But regular over the counter allergy meds are different, so I don't know. Can you wait until tomorrow and phone your doc or at least chat with your pharmacist? (I know my pharmacist was extremely concerned about the prednisone prescription when I went to fill it.)

Good luck, feel better.
