Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

As you have chronic allergy problem so I would recommend you to try following:
> Avoid dust as it plays a major role in triggering allergy.
> Use cetirizine one at night for 5 days for allergy.
> Take montelukast once daily for one month. Research has shown that it reduces allergic response.

It will start resolving by itself in 2-3 days. I would also suggest you to under go allergy testing at allergy clinic as you have chronic allergy problem. It 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.

Report to hospital if:
> Condition remain same after 2-3 days
> Any unusual symptom appears
> Condition deteriorates.

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
