Allergist and Immunologist,  's  Response
Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and first of all I will think of allergic rhinosinusitis.

Were I treating you, I would suggest you intranasal corticosteroids for 2 weeks. Once your symptoms improve significantly, I would stop intranasal steroids and start daily montelukast and levocetirizine.

During the treatment, I would also suggest daily nasal cavity irrigation with saline spray 3-4 times a day and steam inhalation at least twice a day. If you have throat irritation, I would additionally suggest you warm saline gargles upon awakening and before going to sleep.

All above measures will work towards your relief of symptoms.

For allergy, the basic cause of your symptoms, I would suggest you to consult an ALlergist-Immunologist who will perform allergy testing and help you identify the substances you are allergic to. Avoidance measures for the substances you are allergic to and sometimes allergen immunotherapy will help managing your long-standing allergy.

Hope this will be helpful to you.

Wish you a fast recovery and the best of the health.

Regards.
