Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are having symptoms of allergy for last several years which is making you uncomfortable because of the allergy.

I would suggest you to test for absolute eosinophil count (AEC) in blood to confirm the presence of allergic reaction. Then you have to test for the most prevalent allergens like food,dust,pollen and mite, which helps to know the allergen which is causing all these symptoms.

You can take Tab Montek LC, which is an excellent drug for the management of allergic reaction but this is not a permanent solution.

After identifying the allergen causing these symptoms you can take immunotherapy, either subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). This will help to control the symptoms of the allergy.
Thank you.
