Suffering From Allergy, Sneezing, Nasal Drip, Used To Take Cetirizine. Solution ?

Sir, I am suffering from allergy since 2006 and gone through many different treatment mainly took antibiotic, antihistamine and nasal drops, but it works while taking medicine then again start.
What exactly I am facing – when wakeup morning, sneezing start for 2 minutes with watery eyes and secretion of nasal, then stop slowly. Its happen immediate after wakeup in same room.
Second, whenever I go from one room to another even in office or let say going out and coming inside the room I am facing same problem.
I must look fresh especially during office so I used to take Cetirizine Hydrochloride.

Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
AAAA

Hi

Thanks for writing to Health Care Magic

It seems you are suffering from Allergic Rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis is characterized by seasonal or perennial attacks of sneezing, running nose and nasal stuffiness.

Seasonal allergic rhinitis shows seasonal character i.e. present only in specific seasons. Perennial allergic rhinitis is usually present throughout the year.

Diagnosis can be clinical supported by family history, presence of eosinophils in nasal secretion and eosinophilia with raised IgE levels in blood.

Diagnosis of precipitating allergens is often difficult but can be identified by history, skin testing and radioallergosorbant test (RAST).

Some other causes of recurrent or persistent rhinorrhea are

Rhinitis medicamentosa caused by over-use of topical decongestants

Vasomotor rhinitis triggered by exercise, cold/heat exposure, strong odor etc.

Acute attacks of allergic rhinitis are treated with oral antihistaminics e.g cetrizine

Prevention of attacks needs topical steroids as nasal sprays.

Hope that answers your query

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
It seems that you are having allergic bronchitis.
Dust,
mite,
pollen,
hay,
smokes,
fumes,
molds,
sudden increase or decrease in temperature .
All these above mentioned reasons are responsible for allergic attack.
In this condition sneezing, watery eyes, running nose, itching in eyes are most common features.
The best way is avoid these things.
ANTIHISTAMINE + bronchodilators helps.
If infection is added then use antibiotics, otherwise don't use.
Consult an allergy specialist and get his opinion.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
