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 like to know something more about you like - what is your current age? any particular seasons where you feel worse or symptoms are same through out the year? do you have symptoms like headaches, face heaviness, constant tickling in throat, recurrent throat clearing, etc? do you have symptoms like burning in chest, feeling of fluid in throat, especially after heavy/spicy meals, etc?
Above details would help me to know your complaints better.
2. At present, I would suggest you to take montelukast and levocetirizine for at least 4 weeks.
3. I would also suggest you regular steam inhalation and warm saline gargles when you have throat pain.
4. I would suggest you allergy testing for air-borne allergens like house dust mites, molds, regional pollens, insect proteins and pet danders (if you have pet). This will help you identify the substances that may be causing symptoms to you and also to know the measures to avoid them.
5. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which gradually works on immune system to improve allergy symptoms.
6. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.
7. Regular breathing exercises and healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals will also help you in a long run by improving your lung capacity and immunity respectively.
Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you the best of the health ahead.
Thank you & Regards.
