Hello.
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:
1. Were I treating you, I would prescribe you regular montelukast and levocetirizine for nose symptoms. I would also suggest you salbutamol inhaler to be used on as-and-when-needed basis for asthma symptoms/wheezing/breathing difficulty.
2. For treatment of allergy, I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify the substances you may be allergic to and to know the measures to avoid them.
Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to improve allergy symptom on long term basis.
3. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution. (Air pollution is a big concern in Bangalore, I know).
4. Regular breathing exercises and balanced healthy diet will help you to improve your lung capacity and immunity respectively gradually.
Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.
Should you have any other concern, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you the best of the health.
Thank you & Regards.
