Allergist and Immunologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and assume that you have nose symptoms of allergies - nose running, sneezing, nose obstruction, nose itching, lacrimation, etc.

I would like to make suggestions for you as follows:

1. I would suggest you to use montelukast and levocetirizine or cetirizine or fexofenadine for relief of symptoms.

2. I would also suggest you to start regular montelukast 2 weeks before anticipated bad season and to continue it through out the bad season (in your case, the spring and rainy season)

3. I would suggest you allergy testing for pollens, house dust mites and molds. This will help you identify the substances causing allergies to you as well as to know the measures to avoid them.

4. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which gradually improves allergy symptoms by working on immune system.

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.
