Hello, Thank you for asking at HCM. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows: 1. I would like to know about your symptoms in detail like since how long, how often, what are your nose, eye,chest symptoms, which medications you used, which forms of steroids you used, dose of insulin for type I diabetes, any other medical conditions, any other medicines, your previous reports, etc etc. This will help me to understand your complaints better and to make more specific suggestions for you. As you have chest symptoms, I would definitely like to know whether you have asthma, since when, inhaler use, etc. 2. As long as nose/eye symptoms are concerned, I usually prescribe my patients combination of levocetirizine + montelukast regularly. 3. Regular steam inhalation also helps in a long run. 4. I would like to mention here that there are many forms of steroids available, tablet, intranasal sprays, inhalers, etc. Most side effects, including weight gain, increased blood sugar, etc occur with tablet/oral form. Sprays and inhalers are very safe as compared to oral forms, and choosing appropriate form may help to ensure minimum side effects with maximum health benefit. 5. Of course, drugs and steroids, mainly control allergy symptoms, they do not improve immunity to improve allergy symptoms. 6. For diagnosis of allergies, I would suggest you allergy testing for common air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, pollens, molds, insect proteins, animal dander, etc. This will help you to identify the substances causing allergies to you as well as to know the measures to avoid them. 7. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to gradually improve allergy symptoms. 8. In general, please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible. 9. Regular physical exercise including breathing exercise and a diet rich in vitamins & minerals also will help you in a long run by improving your lung capacity and immunity respectively. 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 ahead. Thank you & Regards.
