Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:

1. At present I would agree with Esiflo inhaler and would suggest you to use it regularly for at least 2-3 months with ensuring proper technique of using inhaler.

2. Were I treating you, I would add regular montelukast and an antacid like pantoprazole before meals. I would also suggest you to use salbutamol inhaler on as-and-when-needed basis for asthma symptoms.

3. I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify the substances you may be allergic to and also to know the measures to avoid them.

Based on the allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to improve allergy symptoms on a long term basis.

4. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution.

5. Regular breathing exercises and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) will also help you in a long run by improving lung capacity and immunity respectively.

6. For skin rashes, redness, etc I would suggest you to take an antihistamine like cetirizine or hydroxyzine on as-and-when-needed basis.

7. For pains, I would suggest you to take paracetamol on as-and-when-needed basis.

To summarize, appropriate medicines, immunotherapy and life-style changes would help you a lot.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
