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.
