Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

As you are having allergic reaction, you need to identify the allergen causing these symptoms.

You need to test your blood sample for absolute eosinophil count (AEC) to confirm the presence of allergic reactions.

Then you need to undergo skin prick test (SPT) for most prevalent allergens like food, dust, mite and pollen, this will help us to find the allergen causing these symptoms.

After identifying the allergen causing these symptoms and you can avoid these allergens, if it is not possible to avoid you need to take immunotherapy.

For present condition you can take Tab Levocast, which helps to control the symptoms.

For long term measures you can choose either subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). This mode of treatment will help you to control the infection.
Thank you.
