Hi Doctor. I am 36 years old and I suffer from allergies. The winds were very high about a two weeks ago and set my allergy symptoms into overdrive. I have been taking my allergy medications, nasal rinse and nasal spray. I have had a sore throat for a couple of weeks and have pain eating. I noticed yesterday that I have enlarged taste buds also. My throat is definitely red, but I do not have any yellow or white spots on my tongue. I have also been terribly tired for the past couple of weeks. What do you think this could be?
This could be due to Sore Throat. As you have chronic allergy problem so i would suggest you following things:
> Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect. > Take boiling water in a pot, put your head over the steam and cover whole with a sheet. Take deep breaths in it.(Avoid getting closer else it might cause burn). Do this twice a day. > Take montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic symptoms considerably.
I would also suggest you to under go allergy testing at allergy clinic as you have chronic allergy problem. It will tell that you are allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen and it will improve the problem.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
