What Causes Persistent Allergy?
Hi,
I am 40 years old, height 1.7m, weight 93kgI am suffering from allergies for the last 3 years. Went for blood test, and was told that I am allergic to grass and dust, my doctor prescribed Kestine medication, of which it helped, but taking it for a long period of time, the tablet is no longer working. A month ago I went back to my doctor, and he then prescribed Betanoid 0.5 mg but still not helping. All I need to know what is really causing this allergy. I have never suffered with this before.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If you are allergic to dust and grass and still exposed to these then you would continue to have allergic reactions.
If you were tested for only a few allergens, you may want to consider testing for other sources of reactions to see if it is related to anything else. It is possible to have allergies to multiple agents.
I hope this helps
