Allergy medication is usually taken in the nights before you sleep. As it has a drowsy effect.
Next Steps
consult the same doctor. Or get a new non drowsy allergy medication for use during the day if necessary

You can switch to anti allergic medications with less sedative effect.
Also if any drug that u are taking is associated with drowsiness I will advise you to take it at bedtime to avoid inconvenience during the day.
Next Steps
consult for proper treatment

Not all anti allergic will make you drowsy. And obviously neither any cause brain fog.
Cetirizine, promethazine, pheniramine etc. may or may not cause that side effect.
Fexofenadine, Desloratadine etc. are invented to minimize side effects like drowsiness.
Next Steps
consult with detailed medicine history for second opinion.
