Brief Answer:

Looks Allergic

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

See such kind of history in seen in people with allergic cough. You need to check office environment where you are getting allergy.

Any air conditioner, perfume, aggarbati, room freshener, dust or dust over the files might the the cause.

Eliminate the cause and take a combination of Levocetrizine and Montelukast once daily for 15 days.

Avoid all out or any mosquito repellent and car perfume too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:

Histaglobulin

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

In that case, discuss with your doctor regarding the use of Histaglobulins. Histaglobulins help in chronic allergy problems by inducing immunity to allergies.

Till then continue with a combination of Levocetrizine and Montelukast once a day.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
