Question 2

I'm dealing with some breathing issues because of my recent in-vitro allergy test results. It turns out parthenium and aspergillus are pretty significant allergens for me. Do you have any advice on how I can relieve these symptoms? Is there anything specific I should be doing to manage this better?

Question 3

I've been having this issue where I just can't stop sneezing whenever the weather changes. It's even worse when it's humid or rainy outside. My nose gets all runny and sometimes I get these terrible headaches. It's gotten so bad that I have to leave work, take cetrizine, and sleep just to feel somewhat normal again. Do you have any solutions or advice for this?

Accepted Answer

Azeflo nasal spray sos for breathing difficulty, 7ml in both the nostrils.

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and my doctor switched me to Allegra 180 instead of Montair LC. I've been taking Allegra 180 but it's not really helping much. Could I go back to taking Montair LC since it worked well for me before?

Yes You can use any of them but montek lc causes more sedation over allegra.
