Suggest Treatment For Allergic Breakouts
Hello I am a 55 year old female who suffers from severe allergies to mold spores and dust mites. I currently am having terrible earaches, stiff sore neck, and sore glands on both sides of the neck. I use decongestants and antihistimines on a regular basis but nothing seems to really help. What can I do to break this cycle?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The only way to completely eliminate the allergic response to an allergen would be to prevent or decrease exposure as much as possible.
This means that you would need to eliminate any dust mites in your bedding and sofa.
In addition, you should have your house and , if possible, work environment, assessed for mold and this should also be eliminated.
Once you continue to be exposed, the symptoms would continue.
I hope this helps
