Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions for you:

1. I usually suggest my such patients regular intranasal corticosteroids (mometasone or fluticasone) for at least 2 weeks. I also prescribe them regular montelukast for 4 weeks.

2. I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify the substances causing symptoms to you and to know the measures to avoid them.

3. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution.

4. Eosinophil counts 10% usually suggest long-standing allergies.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any other concern, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
