This is not allergy - treatment of adenoids reqd
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mr XXXX,
Thank you for writing to us at Healthcare Magic.
The clinical history, blood tests do suggest that this is NOT an allergic process, and the fungal infection in the throat was likely due to use of the steroid inhaler.
Mouth must be rinsed always with XXXXXXX warm water after use of steroid inhalers especially in children and elderly.
The total IgE at 106 with negative specific IgE excludes allergy.
He will require to be checked out by an ENT specialist and consideration given towards a surgical option of adenoid-tonsillectomy.
Tonsils when big can get easily infected with streptococcal bacteria and can be difficult to manage.
More than 3 attacks of tonsillitis per year is an indication for surgery.
Furamist-AZ nasal spray 1 spray per nostril twice daily, cetzine syrup 5mg/5ml 5ml twice daily will be sufficient to partly control his symptoms but the surgery will prove more beneficial. There are NO adverse effects of tonsillectomy on the child's immune system.
I hope this helps.
Best Wishes.


Needs symptomatic treatment
Detailed Answer:
It is possible that he can develop airways disease, but this is NOT atopy. The term is used incorrectly in several instances, and this is one of them.
The nasal spray and cetzine is important, occasionally I switch cetzine to Montek-LC KID that gives better control. Levolin inhaler can always be added until he is old enough for surgery.
Best Wishes.


Kindly clarify that if surgery of adenoid n tonsil is done , will the problem of regular cold n cough b solved coz doctors here have suggested that even after the surgery the problem of allergy will be there n only his mouth breathing will stop. Sir, plz excuse me for repeating the question but kindly tell that according to you is it a case of allergy or not as on physical examination all doctors till date have said it to be allergic cold n cough and have given anti allergic medicines everytime. What can be the other reasons for this regular cold cough n wheezing other then allergy.
Adenoids can cause such problems as well
Detailed Answer:
Please ask the concerned doctors as to what the allergy is - as I am unable to find anything on the extensive panel of tests that were done.
Even if this remains uncertain, the treatment I have recommended will stay the same as he is too youong for any sort of immunotherapy.
Best Wishes.
