Suggest Treatment For Pollen Allergy

I ve developed some nose issues over the last 2 years I guess. I went to get things checked out, and got medicine to help with some of the symptoms (the doctor said I was allergic to cedar pollen). My symptom is I always feel congested. Although I have been using the prescribed medicine, I do find it easier to breath but I still feel there is mucus and I can t seem to get rid of it. It is also bloody at times. When I try to blow my nose nothing comes out really, or if it does it s mostly blood. How can I get rid of this blood and mucus and clear up my nostrils.

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Asthma requires long term management & care. Medicines given are prescription only so you need to visit your local doctor to get them. Meanwhile following measures will help you reducing the severity:

> cetirizine one at night for 5 days.
> Montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic symptoms considerably.
- Take boiling water in a pot, put your head over the steam and cover whole with a sheet. Take deep breaths in it.(Avoid getting closer else it might cause burn). Do this twice a day.
> Xylometazoline HCl nasal spray. One puff in each nostril thrice a day for 3 days

AVOID:
dust
pollens

I would also suggest you to under go allergy testing at allergy clinic. They will tell that you are allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen and it will improve the problem.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
