Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Your child seems to be suffering from allergic reaction to the dust in the surroundings. Giving drugs can only suppress the immune system to respond but cannot make her less sensitive to it. First and foremost management of any allergic reaction is to remove the source of allergy which is dust in her case. Giving drugs regularly and increasing the doses can be harmful for her growth in a long run.
I know it's difficult to displace but it's in the best benefit of your child who is precious.

Hopefully this will help. For further questions, you may contact me.
Take care
