General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
Thank you for contacting HCM.

Yes this shows allergic response. As you are already taking medication and still symptoms are persisting, it is suggesting that the triggering factor is still there. You need to find out what actually is causing the allergy. Some of the most common causes of allergy are :
> insect bite
> bedding & clothing
> specific food. e.g egg, etc
> tree pollen
> dust, etc

You need to carefully look into your surrounding that what is the cause. Your symptoms will subside permanently if you find the cause and prevent it.

Hope you get well soon.
Thank You
