Allergist and Immunologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to know more about you like - a. what is your age? b. how frequent are your symptoms? c. What are your nose symptoms, what are your throat symptoms and what are your chest symptoms (breathing difficulty etc) d. What are the medications you use? e. Do you have any other medical conditions? f. Do you take any other medicines frequently?

Above details are necessary to help you better.

However, at present, I would like to make suggestions for you from your given information as follows:

1. I usually prescribe my such patients regular montelukast and levocetirizine. I also prescribe them salbutamol inhaler to be used on as-and-when-needed basis.

2. I would suggest you allergy testing for common air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, molds, insect proteins, pollens and pet dander (if you have pet). It will help you identify the substances causing allergies to you as well as to know the measures to avoid them.

3. Based on allergy testing report, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which gradually works on immune system to improve allergy symptoms over a long period.

4. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.

5. Regular breathing exercise and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals also would help you to improve your lung capacity and immunity respectively over a long duration.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
