How can allergic rhinitis be treated?
Patient: Hey my son is 17 years old mainly early morning or he wakes up late night constantly sneezing, blowing his nose itchy eyes and sinus -pressure/ mucus. I don't know what kind of over the counter medicine to buy. He's been taking cold medicine for the last two days it hasn't worked. Doctor: Hello,Kindly, investigate with CBC and AEC count.If AEC count more than 450, then fexofenadine plus montelukast combination drug can be prescribed. Otherwise decongestant like Levocetirizine, OD or phenylephrine for five days can be prescribed.Steam inhalation can be done three times a day. Salt water gargle can also be done with warm water thrice a day.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Parth Goswami
