Allergic rhinitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query
you might be allergic to weather change.
You can take a combination of levocetrizine and montelukast once daily to be started 3 days before journey.
If any symptom is there so gargles and steam inhalation.
All the medicines I have prescribed will be available only on prescription.
I hope my advise proves useful for you.
Wish you a wonderful vacation.
Thanks and regards
