I'm dealing with a constant runny nose and an annoying allergic cough. Its really wearing me down. My doctor prescribed me a tablet called alcipro 500 mg, but I'm a bit worried. What exactly is this for, and how does it help with these symptoms?

Alcipro is a brand name for the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin. It is commonly used to treat various bacterial infections. It is important to follow your doctor's specific instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Make sure to complete the full course of antibiotics even if you start feeling better.

My husband has been dealing with an allergy for the past 4 years. He went for an allergy test, and it showed he's allergic to parthenium hysterophorus and artemisia vulgaris. What do these allergies mean, and how do they occur? Is there any treatment available? We're really hoping for some guidance here.

Parthenium hysterophorus (Congress grass) and Artemisia vulgaris (Mugwort) are common allergenic plants; the allergy occurs when your husband's immune system overreacts to proteins in these plants' pollen, leading to symptoms like rhinitis, itching, and respiratory issues; treatment options include avoidance of exposure, antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, immunotherapy (allergy shots), and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), so consult an allergist or immunologist to determine the best course of treatment.
