intranasal corticosteroids, salbutamol inhaler
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your follow-up.
From your provided details, I would like to make suggestions for you as follows:
1. As your allergy symptoms are very severe, in addition to your current medications, I would prescribe my such patient intranasal corticosteroids (fluticasone propionate or mometasone) for 5-7 days depending upon response.
2. I would also prescribe my such patient salbutamol or levosalbutamol in tablet or inhaler form. Please note that it can increase heart rate and cause other side effects so it is best to get it prescribed by a doctor after he/she examined you. However, it is an important medicine for wheezing and shortness of breath.
3. Please have adequate fluids to maintain hydration.
4. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.
5. Saline nose washes and warm saline gargles will help recovery.
6. I shortness of breath increases, please visit emergency room.
Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you the best of the health ahead.
Thank you & Regards,
Dr Parin N Parmar
