Could you advise on what else I can do to address this issue?

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Excessive sneezing and nasal congestion can be frustrating!

Given your symptoms and the ineffectiveness of Fexofenadine, consider the following options:

1. _Consult an Allergist_: For comprehensive allergy testing to identify specific allergens triggering your symptoms.
2. _Nasal Sprays_: Add a nasal spray to your treatment, such as:
    - Azelastine (antihistamine)
    - Fluticasone (steroid)
    - Ipratropium (anticholinergic)
3. _Immunotherapy_: If allergy testing reveals specific allergens, consider immunotherapy (allergy shots or sublingual tablets) for long-term relief.
4. _Saline Nasal Irrigation_: Regularly rinse your nasal passages with a saline solution to remove allergens and reduce congestion.
5. _HEPA Filters_: Use HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in your home to reduce allergen exposure.

Discuss these options with your ENT doctor or allergist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

I'm a bit concerned because I have this white spot on my right tonsil. There's no pain or fever with it, but I'm still curious about what it could be. Should I be worried about it, or is it something that's generally harmless?

If it is not causing any symptoms forget about it and maintain oral hygiene.
