Detailed Answer:
Hi!

I am Dr. Neel Kudchadkar from Health Care Magic and I'll help you now.
I have gone through your query thoroughly and being your doctor, I will
handle all your health issues.

It is obvious that you have chronic rhinitis. This means that the inner skin, also called as nasal mucosa (of and inside the nose) are sensitive to infection and
the chemicals in the environment.

I have observed the medications that you are taking. I might ask you to try to
identify, if there is any particular place, season, food item or object that you
inadvertently come in contact with when the sneezing begins and intensifies.

We are speaking of a general allergy here, since if your problem was due to infections, meaning germs or viruses (bugs), it would not continue for so long.

Thus, I would ask you to:

1. Try and avoid things that give you an allergic reaction.
2. Stop any current medication or therapy.
3. Try these 2 medications - Allegra ODT (dissolves in the mouth);
and Levocetrizine (no side effects, no sleepiness)

It would be very useful, if you could volunteer some more information as regards
the beginning and onset, and different facts about your illness, though they might sound a bit irrelevant to yourself, they can indeed stop your allergic reactions faster than you think.

It has been good knowing you.
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar.
