I'm dealing with allergies pretty badly because of dust and strong perfume smells. It gets to the point where I'll sneeze non-stop for like 10 to 15 minutes, often more than 15 times. I've been using MONTEMAC FX or MONTEMAC L to help with it and while they do work, the side effects leave me feeling super sleepy and just not myself the next day. I've also found out that I can't take levocetirizine and anything with FX. Can you recommend something else that won't make me feel drowsy?

View allI'm really worried about my brother. He's been experiencing some alarming symptomshe feels like somethings grabbing his neck and has difficulty swallowing. This all started after he had some cake and cookies a couple of days ago. Initially, he had an allergy reaction on his lips and tongue followed by this chokelike sensation. Should we be concerned, and what kind of specialist would he need to see to get this checked out?
Your brother may be experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction, possibly leading to throat swelling or constriction known as angioedema. This can be a serious condition and requires immediate medical attention. He should seek help from an Emergency Room or Urgent Care center without delay. In the meantime, he can take an antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25-50mg every 4-6 hours to help with the allergic symptoms. However, this is not a substitute for professional medical evaluation and treatment. Please ensure he does not eat any more of the suspected allergen and avoids any triggers that may worsen his symptoms.

I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis for the past four years and haven't seen an allergist yet. It's not seasonalI'm struggling with it all year round. Is it possible for an allergist to provide a permanent cure for this, or at least offer some significant relief? I'd really appreciate any advice.
Allergists can help manage and treat allergic rhinitis effectively, but it may not be cured forever. They can provide you with medications such as Loratadine (Claritin) or Cetirizine (Zyrtec) to help relieve your symptoms. In some cases, they may also recommend allergy shots (immunotherapy) to reduce your body's response to allergens. It's important to consult with an Allergist to create a personalized treatment plan for your allergic rhinitis.
