Pulmonologist 's  Response
Hello
Thanks for your query.
You need to take allegra 180 mg twice daily tablet for 3 days and look for the improvement. If not improved then you may have to go for allergic skin testing, serum specific IgE assay to detect the probable allergen. Do have a chest X-ray and do consult a pulmonologist soon.
Thank you.
