Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your daughter's history.

I would first think of allergic rhinitis. As you also have allergy, she is more likely to have allergies due to genetic basis.

So I would like to make following suggestions for your daughter:

1. You can give her an antihistamine like Cetirizine regularly. However, I would like to add montellukast daily for allergic symptoms.

2. I would suggest you to consult an Allergist-Immunologist who will advise her allergy testing. Depending upon results, you will be able to know what substances she is allergic to and how to avoid them.

3. I would suggest her to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible. If anyone at home is a smoker, it would be better if he/she would not smoke inside the home.

4. A healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (e.g., green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) will be good for her in a long run.

5. I would also suggest you to ensure adequate ventilation and sunlight in her bed room so that concentration of allergen would reduce.

Hope above answer will be helpful to you.

Wish your daughter the best of the health.

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

Regards.
