I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis for quite a while now, since 2006 actually, and allercet tablets have been my go-to, though sometimes I try flomist nasal spray. But honestly, it doesn't always work for me. I'm worried about using allercet long-term though could there be side effects? I keep waking up sneezing, with a runny nose and my eyes all itchy and red. Also, every time I take allercet, I feel really drowsy and sleepy. Is there an alternative treatment or maybe even a surgery option? I just want to have a normal day without these symptoms bothering me. Could you provide some guidance?

I'm dealing with a runny nose that mostly acts up at night, making it hard for me to get any sleep. It seems to go away only when I take medication, but it keeps coming back, especially during winter and rainy seasons. Interestingly, I don't face this issue in summer. Do you have any advice on how I can manage this better?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

I've noticed my eosinophil levels are higher than normal and I experienced some allergies recently. The symptoms have lessened, but I'm still dealing with an itchy sensation. How can I bring my eosinophil counts back to a normal range?

To reduce the eosinophil count and alleviate the itchy sensation, you can take over-the-counter antihistamines like Cetirizine (10mg once daily) or Loratadine (10mg once daily). Additionally, you can use a corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% to relieve itching. Make sure to avoid allergens that trigger your allergies and maintain good hygiene to prevent further allergic reactions. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
