What Could Cause Sneezing And Coughing Along With Sore Throat?

I have seasonal allergies that only get heavy every once in a while, or if my dog starts blowing out his coat (dander allergy). Yesterday was a particularly rough day, as I spent the day sneezing and coughing until my throat was sore. I noticed that I have a metallic taste in my mouth now, similar to blood. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

Hi,

By your history and description, possibility of allergic rhinitis and asthma is more likely. Since you are already having allergies, exposure of those allergens can cause allergic reactions in nose and lungs. So in my opinion, you should follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.

1. Avoid allergen exposure.
2. Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
3. Start Montelukast (anti-allergic) and Fexofenadine (antihistamine) combination once a day at night before going to sleep.
4. Start Fluticasone nasal spray.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
