Hi, I Suffer From Allergies And Definitely Clear My Throat

Posted on Thu, 6 Aug 2020

Question: Brief Answer:
No, allergy is less likely to cause one side disease.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
See allergy is a generalized process. It will not cause one sided throat issue.
So I don't think your one sided throat issue is because of allergy.
In my opinion, you should try levocetrizine tablet twice daily after some food for 5 days and see if this helps.
Also do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi, I suffer from allergies and definitely clear my throat quite a bit and I have a one sided scratchy dry throat. I have had this before and the ENT has scoped new through the nose and looked at the tonsil but nothing maybe a bit red. Are the allergies likely causing the one sided throat issue? It seems like allergy pills and nose sprays don’t help that much

Brief Answer:
It is not allergy specific med.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Ask a doctor forum.
It is not allergy specific medicine.
It is antihistamine drug.
Used in throat irritation, itching.
Montelukast is specific anti allergic drug.
For steam inhalation, plain water is enough. Or you can add Eucalyptus oil or Vicks.
