Nose pours and sneeze whenever I run. Tried various histamines, no help. Treatment ?
Patient: When I go for a run my nose pours for days and days after and I sneeze non stop. I don t think my body is able to regulate its temperature. I have tried anti histamine and various methods without success. The only thing that seems to help if by putting an ice pack on my head. I did the race for life this year for the first time. I ran 5K but then had to take a week off work as my symptoms were so bad, its enough to make you give up exercise, can you help ? I have never been good at regulating my temperature could this be causing my runny nose etc. My symptoms start the minute I leave the gym and get in the car to drive home. My nose drips into my dinner, over my paperwork, down my clothes, its so fast I cannot catch the drips (like a nose bleed ), its very embarrassing and the sneezing is so severe and can be 3-6 on the trot that I end up pulling muscle, lose my voice and have been known to wet myself. This cannot be right. PLEASE HELP. Doctor: You seem to be suffering from allergic rhinitis where symptoms are at it`s worst. I suggest you take montair lc one tab a day and flixonase nasal spray one squirt per nostril twice or thrice a day. Avoid extreme changes in temp, smoke and dust if you can. If symptoms still persists you can go in for allergy testing and do the levels of IgE antibodies and go in for shots of omalizumab.
