Suggest Treatment For Recurring Cold And Chest Infection W

Hi, I have a question: 1) I have had anaphylaxis twice / I m borderline asthmatic / I have reflux disease and skin irritations ie. dermatitis - are any of these illnesses linked up in any way? I also have multiple allergies to dust, mites, soil, grass, animals, bees, wasps, foods, hayfever, sinusitis, etc. I m also lactose intollerant and I experience IBS symptoms due to having lactose, have an issue with wheat (so I also try an avoid gluten), soy allergy, etc. With my asthma and allergies I seem to experience a lot of colds and chest infections, one of them being pluerisy in October this year! Thanks Melina (42 yo), Sydney

I wouldn't comment on IBS, But definitely nasal allergy and asthama have been shown to be related. refer to A.R.I.A Guidelines. i think you should have multi-speciality complete checkup. but what i can suggest now is avoid the allergen.
