Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
Hello Tushar,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

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

1. From your history, I would first think of allergic rhinitis. I usually prescribe my such patients combination of montelukast and an antihistamine like fexofenadine (Allegra that you are taking).

2. It is important to mention here that above medicines can only "control" your symptoms, they basically do not "cure" allergies.

3. I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify the substances you may be allergic to and also to know the measures to avoid them.

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

4. I would especially think of allergy to house dust mites or indoor molds as you have early morning symptoms.

5. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.

6. I would also suggest you to take a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) which will improve your immunity and will be helpful in a long run.

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.
