Itchy Sores On Nose. Prescribed Allegra, Saline Gel. Will It Help?

I have itchy recurring scores in my nose. I have been dealing with them for multiple years. My first doctor proscribed Allegra any kinda worked the the second doctor wantted to cut on me. My most recent Doctor, ear and nose said I needed to keep my nose most with a saline gel. That worked for about a month and now I'm back to a itchy nose with random sorse. I've been given antibiotics before that helped for a month or so and then my semtumes come right back. What do I do?

Hello

Thanks for writing to us about your query.

I read your query regarding recurrent episodes of itching and soreness in nose, at times you got relief by anti allergic and saline gel.

As per your symptoms it appears as you are suffering from allergic rhinitis. these allergy are of two types- Seasional and perineal.

Seasional allergy creates problem in particular seasion only, while perineal allergy creates problems on entire year. Here your allergy is also appear to be perineal and I would like to tell you that it will be better for you to do the skin test for identification of allergen and accordingly take vaccines for desensatization. In this way you may be benifitted more.

I hope this answers your query.

Regards.
