Hello Faisal.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

Telfast 120 is fexofenadine. Fexofenadine and nasal spray will help your nasal and throat symptoms of allergy but not asthma (noise from chest, feeling of being breathless).

I would suggest you to take a combination of montelukast and levocetirizine for 1 week. This will work for both nasal allergies and asthma. If you have no symptoms with this, I would suggest you to take it at least for 2-3 months or as long as you expect exposure to dust and smoke.

However, if this does not help you, I would suggest you to consult an Allergist-Immunologist who will suggest you allergy testing and may advise you allergen immunotherapy, inhaled corticosteroids, etc.

I would also suggest you regular breathing exercises. Please try to avoid dust, smoke, air pollution & cold air as much as possible.

Hope this will help you.

Wish you the best of the health.

Regards.
