Suggest Remedy For Pollen Allergy
Hi Doctor. I have recently moved to Bangalore from Mumbai, in the month of June. Since then, my mother who is 62 yrs of age and daughter 3yrs of age, have caught cough. Both of them have sleepless nights due to terrible coughing. I am worried if this is pollen allergy, which Bangalore is wellknown for. Kindly advice.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it is an allergy particularly allergic rhinosinusitis. This can cause a post nasal drip which would then cause a cough.
Some persons may not be aware of the drip.
This would be treated by the use of a topical steroid nasal spray and an oral antihistamine.
The nasal spray may require a prescription.
I hope this helps
