Suggest Treatment For Allergy
I have been having terrible allergy problems in the past month. Never before have I had such problems, to the extent of taking OTC medication daily. I cannot get away from a smell of kerosene. There is nothing in my home with kerosene in it, nor do I have gas in my home, all electric. My husband does not smell it. But it is overwhelming, and to the point I feel it s coming from my own nose. Even taking OTC allergy meds., I am constanty using nasal spray, Afrin, as I have used all my life because of smoke allergies, sneezing constantly, burning eyes, eyes watering. What can it be. I ve tossed out candles, even though sniffing them, I did not get the kerosene odor, but thought maybe it was something in the candles, though they are a more expensive brand. Candles gone, nothing with kerosene in my home, but I cannot get this smell out of my nose it seems. My head hurts on a daily, most especially nightly basis. Eyes are very sensitive to lights, especially tv light at night, I ve been wearing sunshades while watching tv at night because I cannot stand the bright light.

Hello dear,
On going through your history, it seems you have a genuine situation and I'll try my best to help you out of it.
Allergy is a disease gifted my God and it is transmitted form one generation to next. Also the Gift lasts for whole life unless addressed properly.
The allergens what ever it may be, be it environmental or dietary or contact, they eventually lead to reaction in blood which then progress to symptoms in nose, ear, throat, skin or lungs.
We ( And some doctors also) are ignorant of it and usually try to treat the symptoms and never care for the curing the condition in blood.
In my clinic I advise my patient to go for a skin prick test where allergens are introduced into the superficial layer of the skin and the offending one gives a positive reaction by creation of a whale. Now basing on this result, Immunotherapy can be started in which drops for the specific allergen is taken sublingually for a period of atleast 2 years.The efficacy rate of this treatment is upto 90%.
I advice you to study about this on internet and find a suitable Allergy specialist to address your concern.
I hope I brought some relief to your anxiety. Please be free to ask me any
