Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to know more about you like - Since what age you are having these problems? Is there any particular season that is worst for you? Do you have might time symptoms more than day? Do you smoke? Does any of your family members have allergy/asthma?

From your given history, I would like to make suggestions to you as follows:

1. Were I treating you, I would suggest you daily montelukast and levocetirizine/cetirizine for t lest 2-4 weeks.

2. I would also prescribe you a salbutamol/levosalbutaol inhaler which is to be used when you have shortness of breath on as-and-when-needed basis.

3. Regular breathing exercises and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) and plenty of warm fluids during the day will also help.

4. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.

5. I would also suggest you allergy testing for air-borne allergens like house dust mites, common molds in your area, common pollens in your area, cockroach and animal proteins (if you have pets) etc. This will help you identifying the substances that are causing trouble to you and also to know measured how to avoid them.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

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

Wish you the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
