Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for writing back.
1. Air borne allergies can be tested. Humidity is a non-specific allergen. Since your blood tests are fine, a combination of medication such as an anti-histamine, an anti-leukotriene, a steroid nasal spray and steam inhalation will help control your nasal allergy.
2. Correction of Vit. D, Vit. B12 and calcium levels will go a long way in treating your symptoms.
3. I would recommend that a physician review all your current medication to rule out any drug interactions such as between XXXXXXX Codiene, Sudafed and Midrin.
I hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be available to answer them.
