Suggest Remedy For Persistent Sneezing And Running Nose

I have been suffering from some kind of allergy for the last 4 years. It will happen once in a while. I get sneezing and running nose from the moment i get up from the bed. It lasts till the night. I dont know what i am allergic to. Its not dust, because i am the cleaner in my house and i dont get sneezing when i deal with dust. Its not any season specific. I am kind of confused.. When i get this allergy, thats a spoiled day.. i sneeze continuously... and by the middle of the day i will be very tired.. Could you please put some light on my allergy and suggest me what kind of medicine i should take to stop this sneezing

Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to suggest as follows to help you:

1. Early morning sneezing and running symptoms are usually due to allergy to air-borne particles like house dust mite, indoor molds, cockroach proteins, pollens, animal proteins (if you have pets in home), etc.

Hence I would suggest you to get allergy testing done for above mentioned air-borne proteins, considering the ones which are common in your region.

This will help you identify the substance which causes allergy and also to know measures how to avoid them. Avoidance is the best strategy for allergy management.

2. When you have such symptoms, I would suggest you to take an antihistamine like cetirizine/levocetirizine along with montelukast which will control your symptoms.

3. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes & air pollution as much as possible.

Hope above measures will be helpful to you.

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

Wish you the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
