Hello, Thank you for posting us on HCM. I have read your symptoms which are in favor upper respiratory tract infection. you are probably having chronic allergic infection. I would advise you 1. You should under go Prick test to identify the allergen which is sensitive to you. then you can take Immunotherapy for that. I have seen excellent results in my Patients. 2. Oral Antihistaminics 3. Rexidine mouth gargal 4. TAb Mast cell stabilizers 5. Lab investigation like Absolute Eosinophill Count (AEC). Thank you.
