Question: Hi my nose gets blocked due to cold starts running and my throat and lunch becomes allergic due to this. I'm using montair lc for past 1 week please suggest if it is safe to cure allergies and prolonged usage
Brief Answer:
get an ENT evaluation done.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, I would suggest that you should get yourself clinically examined and investigated by an ENT specialist.
Allergic symptoms should be taken care of and cured by taking antihistamine medicine.
You can continue with Montair LC, that you are taking. You can take the medicine for a minimum of 4-6 weeks for better control of your symptoms.
Any medicine can have side effects but it is the treating doctor who decides whether the beneficial effects outweighs the side effects.
I would also advise that you should also take Oxymetazoline nasal spray twice daily for about 5 days for relief from nasal congestion.
Steam inhalation can also be helpful.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Further medical management can be planned according to the clinical evaluation done by your doctor.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.

Also include citrus fruits in your daily diet as they contain Vitamin C, which increases immunity.
Drink lots of water daily.
Wash your hands before eating.
