Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

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

1. I usually suggest my such patients intranasal corticosteroids (mometasone or fluticasone propionate) for 1-2 weeks and montelukast and levocetirizine for 2-4 weeks.

2. As you rightly said, most of the medicines can only "control" the symptoms but basically would not "cure" allergies. So I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you to identify the substances you may be allergic to and also to know the measures to avoid them.

Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to gradually improve allergy symptoms over a long time.

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

4. A healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals will also help you early recovery.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
