Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Firstly, please appreciate that molds are omnipotent: they are present in every part of the world. So, there is no guarantee that one would not encounter molds at a particular place.

The best way of combating allergy is to be on a regular preventive therapy with a combination of:-
1. Levocetirizine 5mg twice a day
2. Montelukast 10mg twice a day
3. Azelastin nasal spray/drops thrice a day.

If there is a transient flare up of allergic symptoms despite being on the above-mentioned drugs, a 2-4 weeks of a steroid, such as, Fluticasone nasal spray may be added.

I can assure you that the preventive therapy will reduce allergic symptoms by 80-90%!!

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me and will prescribe the advised drugs in appropriate doses.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
