How Can severe Sneezing Along With Headache be Treated?

My husband has been having an allergy episode for six weeks. They usually only last a few hours to a day. Runny nose, sneezing, headache. He takes Claritin daily, and has taken claritin D the last 10 days. He is having trouble sleeping because he can t breathe. Any advice on what to do? We go on vacation next month and he needs to feel better.

Hi.

Well, the symptoms of severe sneezing, runny nose, headache seems to be due to allergic rhinitis and it can be due to causes like an allergic reaction to irritants like pollen, animal danders, dust and mites and at times even certain trees and grasses.

I would suggest that your husband should consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like allergic tests can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.

He can take anti-allergics like Levocetirizine, Allegra etc. along with steroid nasal sprays to relieve the symptoms. Do steam inhalations.

You can also be instilled an Immunotherapy that will help in reducing the severity and frequency of allergic attack.

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

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
