Allergist and Immunologist,  's  Response
Hello madam,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions to you:

1. If you have only sneezing and other nose symptoms but not symptoms like wheezing or breathing difficulty, I would suggest you not to worry about asthma. Sneezing and nose symptoms are due to allergic rhinitis only.

2. For allergic rhinitis I would suggest you to take montelukast and levocetirizine for 1 month.

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

Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which gradually works on immune system to improve your allergy symptoms.

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

5. As you have asthma in family member, I would suggest you regular breathing exercises and Yoga & Pranayama to improve your immunity and lung capacity.

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.

Thank you & Regards.
