Patient: R/sir  i have been suffered from Asthametic Problem . My nose runs every wheather.It repeats in Every 2 or 3 month contineously from 3  last year. Please let me know about this effective & permanent treatment. My health history is given below:- Age-43 year Hight-5'6" Approx Weight- 68 Kg Approx Salt taking during-Tritublin or salbutamol,Droxollin etc Doctor: Hello.Thank you for asking at HCM.I went through your history and would like to make suggestions to you as follows:1. Were I treating you, I would prescribe you montelukast regularly in addition to your treatment. It helps in both nose and asthma symptoms.2. For nose symptoms, I would suggest you levocetirizine or cetirizine. For asthma symptoms, I would suggest you to use salbutamol inhaler on as-and-when-needed basis. 3. Personally, I would suggest you allergy testing which will identify the substances causing troubles to you and also to know how to avoid exposure to them.An Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy based on allergy report which works on your immune system to improve your allergy symptoms gradually.4. Please avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.5. I would also suggest you regular breathing exercise and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) which will improve your lung capacity and immunity respectively and will help you in a long run.As long as permanent/long term effective treatment, allergen specific immunotherapy may be effective in allergic asthma. All the other medications used in treatment can only control the symptoms.Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.Should you have any other query, please feel free to ask at HCM.Wish you the best of the health.Thank you & Regards.
