After surgery allergy meds

Just trying to get some info. My surgery is one week from today. From time to time I need to take Claritin for allergies. I know everything is supposed to be liquid or chewable. How are y'all handling meds popping up that aren't liquid or chewable? TIA

      I swallowed all pills whole starting the day after surgery with no problems. One is fairly large. You shouldn't have a problem with Claritin but ask your surgeon.

    @@jolomom I believe Claritin has one that melts in your mouth. I haven't found out exactly what to do about meds yet (I take Zyrtec every night) but I think once swelling goes down we'll be able to swallow smaller pills.

    My surgeon had me swallowing anything that would fit through a standard size wedding ring starting within a couple hours of surgery. I had no problems. Claritin pills are tiny, they shouldn't be an issue, but check with your surgeon to be sure.
