Question

I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis for about 20 years now, and I've tried almost every antihistamine and nasal spray available. I recently came across a nasal spray called Azelast or Arzep, which has an antihistamine named azelastine HCl. I'm curious if it's safe to use this spray whenever I need to since it doesn't contain steroids. Can you shed some light on this?

Question

I've been dealing with this heavy sinus issue for about 6 months now, and it's driving me crazy. I notice there's not much mucus, but I sneeze a lot, even when I try using steam. Whenever I take Montek LC, it seems to help, but if I skip even one day, my eyes feel really heavy and my nose starts running like crazy. It feels like the air is somehow getting into my nose and causing all this trouble. My doctor suggested I might need to take Montek LC forever or use an inhaler to clear the mucus. I'm really hoping for a more permanent solution. What do you think I should do?

Question

I'm kinda puzzled about my situation and could use some advice. I had an IgE level of 200 iUmL and was dealing with this dry cough that kept coming back every 48 to 60 hours. My GP gave me an inhaler, but then I saw an ENT who suggested septiline, some syrup with dextromethorphan hydrobromide and chlorpheniramine maleate, and recharje plus capsules. Thankfully, I'm feeling better now. Thing is, I also have dyshidrosis but no trouble breathing. So, I'm curious why my IgE was high in the first place? Could it be related to these issues or something else entirely?

Question

I've been struggling with breathing issues for the past couple of months and my doctor mentioned it's due to allergies from things like apple, banana, milk, and even coconut. He prescribed me something called a histoglob injection, with a schedule of weekly injections, then a break, and then more weekly doses. I'm really concerned because this is all new to me, and I'm not sure about the dosage or possible side effects. Can you explain what I might experience with this injection?
