Suggest Treatment For Allergic Cough
I have a cough due to allergies to cedar-I only cough when I talk. I don't know what to use to help. Been to a specialist and was given medication stronger than antibiotic-but don't know what it was. I can't afford to go to him and want my primary doctor to know what it might have been.

Hello,

As you are having the symptoms of allergy to cedar L for which your doctor has prescribed the antibiotics to tackle the infection.This drug will helps to control the symptoms of infection.
You need to test your blood sample for absolute eosinophil count to confirm the presence of any allergic reaction. Then you can test for most prevalent allergens in your environment like dust, pollen, mite and food.
You need to avoid the allergen which is responsible for all these symptoms, or you can choose immunotherapy. Either you can take subcutaneous immunotherapy or sublingual immunotherapy against the particular allergen.
Thank you.
