Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

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

1. Were I treating you, I would suggest you 1-2 weeks of inhaled corticosteroids (mometasone or fluticasone propionate) and 2-4 weeks of montelukast and levocetirizine/cetirizine.

2. I would also suggest you regular nasal irrigation with nasal saline sprays which will help.

3. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.

4. A healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals (e.g. adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts etc) and plenty of fluids will help you in a long run.

5. Personally I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you to identify the substances causing allergies to you as well as also the measures to avoid them.

Hope above measures 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.
