Suggest Remedy For Dust Allergy, Asthma
Hello Doc, first I must say that this is very novel idea and I really appreciate your time and efforts. Now to the problem - My wife is suffering from dust allergy or I think called dust rhinitis or something from last 15 yrs or something.....She sneezes around 30 times a day and constantly has runny nose. She sometime also has Asthama problems. She has taken lots of allopathy and homeopathy tablets but to no solution. If you can suggest me some remedy or a good ENT doctor in Mumbai, I would be really grateful to you. Many Thanks.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you are wife has known allergic to dust, she should be very careful otherwise it may be dangerous to the life. I would suggest her to undergo absolute eosinophil count (AEC) which will be raised in the allergic condition.
For the present symptoms you can give her Tab Montek LC which helps to control the symptoms, but it is temporary. She need to avoid these dust allergens to protect herself from getting these allergy symptoms.
I would suggest her to undergo skin prick test (SPT) to identify the type of dust causing these symptoms and can prevent herself from exposing to these dust. Otherwise you can prefer immunotherapy either with subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT).
Thank you.
