Prescribed With Furamist, Still Cold, Itching Persists. Nasal Route Clogged, Help?
Hi,
I suffered from cold approx 1 year back. The cold stayed for approx 2 to 3 months and then I consulted a doctor. He gave me antibiotics and also asked me to do X-Ray to check for sunus but there was no Sinus however my Nasal route was clogged. The cold subsided and eventually healed. As a result I stoppe taking antibiotic. The doctor also prescriped me to take Furamist when I was suffering from cold and asked me to take it for 1 additional month from the day my antibiotics were over.
Hovever after 10 to 15 days of taking the last dose of Furamist I again started getting running nose and and ther used to be lot of itching inside the nose. It was as if a feather was being inserted into my nose. I then consulted a ENT specialist and he told me that I am suffering from allergy so he gave me Montair LC (for 5 days) and Furamist for 1 month. The moment I started thaking these medicines all the symptoms were gone. After I completed the course the same issue again happens and this has been happening for close to 8 months. Every time I show the doctor I am told the same thing that I have allergies and I have consulted 3 to 4 doctors in this time frame and everyone has mentioned the same thing and prescribed the sam medicines. However now I have switched to Furamist AZ and once I take this sparay my symptoms subside for 2 to 3 days and at times ven for 7 to 10 days.
Could you please recomed me as to what could be the solution for this issue of mine.
Thanks

Hi,
Since your symptoms are subsided with the above treatment you can continue the same for time being. The main treatment for allergy is to keep away allergen. So if it is not possible you should take the nasal spray which will prevent inflammation and also the response to allergy.
For permanent treatment you can get done skin prick test and based on the allergen get sensitization treatment / immunotherapy. This will help you.
