Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:
1. I would suggest you allergy testing for common air-borne allergens like house dust mites, molds, pollens, insect proteins, pet dander (if you have pet).
This will help you identifying substances causing allergies to you as well as t know the measures to avoid them.
2. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which gradually improves allergy symptoms by working on immune system.
3. For symptom relief, I would suggest you montelukast + levocetirizine.
4. If you have symptoms like nose obstruction, snoring, headache, facial heaviness, etc, I would think of long-standing rhinosinusitis and you may require evaluation of nose & sinuses, intranasal corticosteroids, etc.
5. Regular steam inhalation will be helpful to you in a long run.
6. In general, please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.
7. Regular breathing exercises like Yoga & Pranayama as well as diet rich in vitamins, minerals & antioxidants will also help you in a long run by improving your lung capacity and immunity gradually.
Wish you the best of the health ahead.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you the best of the health ahead.
Thank you & Regards,
Dr Parin N Parmar
