Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

No it is not because of medicine. Its because of recurrent allergy. Apart from antihitamine that you are already taking, i would suggest you to take take montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic symptoms considerably.
If problem persists then I would suggest you to under go allergy testing at allergy clinic. It will tell that you are allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen and it will improve the problem.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
