Im a bit concerned because every time I masturbate, I start experiencing continuous sneezing. I know I'm allergic to dust mites, but it seems unusual for this to happen only then. Could it be possible that masturbation is somehow triggering my allergic rhinitis?

There is no direct link between masturbation and allergic rhinitis triggered by dust mites. It is more likely that the act of masturbation is not directly causing your symptoms. It is possible that there may be other factors at play, such as the environment in which you are masturbating or other triggers that coincide with the activity. To help manage your symptoms, you can try using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine at a dose of 10mg once daily. Additionally, using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Fluticasone can help reduce nasal inflammation and sneezing. Make sure to also minimize exposure to dust mites in your environment by regularly cleaning and dusting your living space

I'm really struggling with allergy rhinitis and have been taking ODIMONT FX once a day for the last 3 years. If I miss a dose, I end up sneezing the next day, my nose runs a lot, and I get chest congestion. What should I do about this?

I'm allergic to different smells like perfumes and soaps, and whenever I'm around them, I start sneezing, get a runny nose, and my eyes get really watery. It's been happening a lot more lately. On some dates, my Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) numbers look like this: February was 1350, March went down to 980, April was 800, August dropped to 705, but then in September, it shot up to 1035. I've been on Hetrazan 100mg tablets during March, April, May, and August, but even with the medication, my AEC went up again in September. Any idea why this is happening or how I can better manage it?
