Posted on Fri, 28 Sep 2018
Question: Hello, I have just finished a series of allergy test over the last four weeks. Have been tested for trees, weeds, grasses, epidermal,other (dust mite dp, df), molds, and yeast (candida) positive also. Have been taking shot therapy for 8 years with goods results. This last testing reveals I am allergic to 97 percent of the above. Have been having a battle with clear excessive mucus drainage. Clogs up my throat and upper respiratory, I sleep about three hrs. Wake up and then after I drink a half gallon of filtered water spit it up. My viles won't be ready till next Thursday. I also have have two sinus surgeries in the last twelve years. My Dr. Is an ENT and plastic surgeon, very experienced, he takes shots also. I could write a small paper on what I have done in my house, UV light in return air, dual high quality pleated filters changed regular, a heavy duty hepa air filter with a Dylos particle count machine that measures air quality. My air quality usually runs in the single digits to under 100 normally. Will starting my shots again soon, they make up the viles in the Doctor office. The shots do work, just asking for advice if I missing something. I am 65 yrs. Male, I have no other health problems other than the sinus drainage. Any comment would be appreciated. Thanks XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
You are should also start montelukast and fexofenadine combination.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the history you have mentioned.
Allergy shots by experienced doctor is good treatment.
In my opinion, along with allergy shots, you should also start combination of anti allergic (montelukast) and anti histamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) once a day at night.
Try this combination for atleast 3-4 months.
This will also give you relief.
You can also ask for newer anti allergy treatment like Omalizumab.
Please let me know
1. Have you ever taken montelukast and fexofenadine combination?
2. Have you heard of omalizumab?
