Sort of echoing /u/gameboy17, Benadryl™ is not necessarily a good first line, full time allergy treatment. Puts my mother, siblings, and myself to sleep, so we pretty much reserved it for things like wasp stings.
I've had bad allergies all my life, although teenage "allergy shots" and a move to a northern area of the US curbed them for a good long while, until 1995 when I started getting regular sinus infections. What stopped that was a combination of two nasal sprays, a steroid and the antihistamine azelastine, brand names Astelin (now a prescription generic with an evil 25 day supply bottle) and Astepro over here in the US.
And the steroid Flonase/fluticasone propionate is now an Over the Counter Drug (OTC). Which means it's supposed to be really safe, but treat all steroids with respect, be careful in how you spray it, e.g. aim for the inner sides of your outer nostrils. And ideally only take it seasonally.
Cleaning your room, it depends. Dust that settles and stays settled won't hurt you. But clean your sheets regularly, ideally using hot enough water to kill dust mites, which add to your total allergy load.
Also see if you can keep the humidity below 50%, which hinders them. In the US, this dehumidifier seems to suck less (so far, not at all) than all the others which are made by another company in the PRC which has produced models that'll catch fire, looks like it's been replaced with a newer model that looks identical. I bought my UD701KOG1 almost exactly a year ago and it's done well, but I haven't used it really hard, my smol 700 square foot/65 square meter house is old by US standards, first 3 rooms built in 1910, so it's somewhat leaky, but isn't a huge challenge to keep dry.
Oh, yeah, I use these hygrometers to see how humid it is, it's the best compromise between the really cheap and inaccurate ones and the good ones that go for over $100. I use this sling psychrometer, and damn but it's even more expensive now, to make sure they're reasonably accurate, maybe see if you can borrow one if you want to get that serious. Worth spending the money for me as opposed to getting frequent sinus infections and spending a solid month on antibiotics for each :-(.
