Patient: hi..i m always experiencing sneezing when i m exposed to dust or any any allergens..i ve consulted a doctor then he told me i m having an allergic rhinitis ...will i have the tendency to develop any lung diseases or any lung condition in the future?..i do seldom use antihistamine as my medicine..what else can i do to prevent this? Doctor: Hello dear... I went through your post in which you have mentioned that you are having Allergic rhinitis.  Management includes: 1. Antihistamine preparations, corticosteroids & nasal decongestants to provide symptomatic relief during acute attacks. 2. Montelukast preparations may be used as a maintenance therapy to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies.  Lung involvement in the form of asthma can be seen in the presence Hyper-responsiveness of air passages to an allergen. To prevent these symptoms, make sure that you are well protected from cold, dust & other allergens.  Wishing you a good health. Thanks & take care.
