Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
Hello Mrs Saha,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:

1. I would like to know more about your complaints like nose symptoms, sinus symptoms, eye symptoms, breathing difficulty, wheezing, etc, their seasonal variations, etc. At present, I would make suggestions for you from your given history only.

2. I would suggest you allergy testing for common airborne allergens such as house dust mites, molds, pollens, insect proteins, animal dander, etc. This 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, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to gradually improve your allergy symptoms.

4. For symptom relief, I would suggest you intranasal spray such as Fluticasone propionate or Mometasone furoate.

5. Regular steam inhalation will help you in a long run.

6. In general, please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes, air pollution and cold air as much as possible.

7. Regular breathing exercises and a healthy nutrition rich in vitamins and minerals will also help you in a long run by improving your lung capacity and immunity.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. More specific suggestions can be made after your detailed history.

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

Wish you the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
