Hi, thanks for your question, I have read it and understand your concerns.

Answer: treatment of allergic rhinitis has mainly three aspects

1. Avoiding allergens, irritants and triggers that give you symptoms. I know this is not easy but that’s how things work in this disease. These triggers can be indoor or outdoor. If you don’t know yet which allergens are causing your symptoms, then you should get tested for those ones so that you can avoid them.

2. You need to have medications such as antihistamines, decongestants and nasal corticosteroid sprays to control and treat your symptoms. There are different types of medications with different side effects.

3. When your symptoms are not controlled with the above-mentioned medications, then you have to consider immunotherapy. This will be decided mostly by your specialist doctor. People with nasal septum problems can also benefit from surgery.

So, I would recommend that you see an immunologist or allergist as medications haven’t effectively worked in your case so that they can consider immunotherapy for you.

Hope this helps.
