Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are having dust allergy and having continuous exposure to dust, possibility of allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma is more.
Running nose and sneezing suggest allergic rhinitis.
While cough and breathlessness suggests asthma.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT is must for the diagnosis of asthma.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid.
Telekast L is good drug and safe for long term use.
Please tell me
1. Do you have wheezing?
2. Have you ever undergone PFT?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
