How can hay fever be treated?
Patient: Hi I have hay fever with all the symptom and the line across my nose. I have post nasal drip and I deal with it through my nose. I’ve taken antihistamine for this but fine very little lasting relief. Now, due to the drip I have the fluid in my chest. I’m coughing a lot and now appear to have a temperature. I’m affected by dust/dander and plants. I currently have all of these in my life due to job and neighbors tree. It’s an overload to my system and I can’t cope. I need help as I’ve had this for some time and my doctor seems to have no idea how to effectively deal with this Thank you Sharon Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  You have severe allergic  rhinitis and allergic alveolitis. For this you have to go for skin allergy test with 140 allergens and it will tell you why actually you have problems. Other things total serum IgE and IgE specific for aspergillus. Treatment options are long term steroids Montelukast and Levocetirizine , Omalizumab and immunotherapy treatment   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
