Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
It could be because of allergic reason.
First thing to do is to find out the cause of allergy which i suspect something to do on daily basis which is preventing patient to get better.
Sleeping mattress, pillow, blanket should be cleaned thoroughly for mites and dust.
Pollen grains in air also causes allergy and difficult to control.
Any food stuffs recently changed or having recently can also trigger this problem.
Kindly keep observation on day to day activity to find out the exact cause that might be causing the allergy. Once found out and confirmed, avoiding it can prevent further allergic episodes.
Till then take tab allegra 120mg twice a day. Or even tab levocetrezine 10mg during sleeping will do.
I hope i have answered your query well.
if you have any more query kindly write back to me will be happy to answer them.
Thank you
