Will Taking Cetirizine And Allegra Cure Severe Headaches, Sneezing And Sore Throats Caused Due To Sinus Infection?
I am suffering from Sneezing, sore throat and severe headache from last 3 yrs. I thought I have sinus and allergy because I get sneezing with dust and old cloths and weather change. But recently in diwali vacation in my home town, I went to one shoes shop and when he kept Agarbatti and switch on fan, I started coughing and was feeling so much disturbance in my chest and it was not stopping even I came out from tht shop. So I went to pathelogy and met with consultant docotr, he asked me to take cetrizine so I took Allegra which was with me tht time. After 10 mins I felt comfortable and I gave my blood for allergy test and after tht we went to lungs specialist doctor. he did some my test using mouth air and he said tht u have allergy induced Asthma and he has given Montair-fx mediicne one time in a day, Forecort inhaler twice in a day 2 puff and one nasal drop.He asked me to take these medicine one month and after tht meet any lungs specialist in Pune. After second day when my allery test report came, it was normal so we asked doctor so he said tht u have asthma. I am taking this montair-fx medicine from last 24 days and I can say I didnt face any trouble, I got 100% relieve. now i dont scare with cold waves and cold things. I have stop taking nasal drop after 10 days and for puff I m not regular but medicine I m taking regularly. So now again I have to consult with one doctor. I stay in Pune, please suggest me one good doctor in Pune. But I m worried becuase I m not able to understand which disese i have now if my allergy test is normal and after taking this medicine even I didnt face any sinus kind of headache.

Hello,thanks for your query.
1.from your history it is clear that you do have allergy induced asthma.
2. you have been taking antiallergic(allegra),and steroid +bronchodilator puff.this opens the air passages (narrowed by body reaction to allergy) and you can then breathe easily.
3.season change,dust,perfumes etc will worsen breathing problems .sinusitis will worsen by exposure to cold .avoid such situations
4.keep up a regular routine of mild exercise(yogasanas) to improve lung capacity .
5.ask your doctor to shift you from steroid to long term nonsteroid prep for asthma to reduce steroid related side effects .
6. visit a chest physician(M.D.chest) wh can guide you better .
stay healthy ,happy to help
