What Causes Nasal Stuffiness After Getting Allergy Shots?
After getting allergy shots twice a week for the last three weeks,my taste and smell have almost gone away again and I do get some nasal stuffiness from time to time . My doctor told me this is normal because of the shots themselves. How long will this go on?
You might have allergy. Allergens may be dusts, smoke, animal dander, and pollen etc. Advice 1. Levocetirizine 5 mg daily per oral for 5 days 2. Azithromycin500 mg daily per oral for 3 days 3. Ambroxol 30 mg daily per oral for 5 days 4. Do gargle with slight warm salt water four times daily 5. Avoid dust, smoking, alcohol, dry environment and spicy food 6. Investigation – X – ray PNS, allergens test Thanks
