Need long term anti histamines with or without antibiotics

Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.

First of all, it is sad to know what you had gone through. Based on the history you have shared, it seems as if most probably the exact origin of your symptoms appear to be allergic but infective etiology needs to be ruled out by careful examination of nose and throat clinically as well as with Xray of Paranasal sinuses.

If any signs of post nasal drip, inflammation or pus accumulation inside the sinuses is noted, a course of antibiotics like Co-Amoxyclav or Azithromycin along with anti histamines like cetirizine or loratidine may be needed. Using OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen of no contraindication is present, will help with the symptoms. Using nasal decongestant sprays should be continued along with steam inhalations.

Avoid direct exposure to cold and decrease diets with high fat content. Gargles with saline water will also help. Wishing you a speedy recovery. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Regards
