Visit your Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 3

I've been dealing with a persistent cough for months now, alongside sneezing and a runny nose. Initially, I thought it was just a regular cold, but a blood test revealed it's a dust allergy. I was prescribed histafree tablets, which worked for a while, but once I stopped, my symptoms came back. I've seen another doctor who told me theres a nasal allergy leading to a mild airway blockage and wheezing, so now I'm using an inhaler and telecast f tablets. Its been 20 days, and while the sneezing has gotten better, the cough is still sticking around. Is continuing with the inhaler advisable? I'm trying to figure out the best way to tackle this. Any insights?

Accepted Answer

The sensation of a lump or tightness in your throat is likely due to:

1. Globus sensation (a harmless condition)
2. Acid reflux
3. Tonsillitis
4. Muscle tension

Consult an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, try:

- Gargling with warm salt water
- Avoiding acidic or spicy foods
- Managing stress through relaxation techniques

I'm really struggling with allergy rhinitis and have been taking ODIMONT FX once a day for the last 3 years. If I miss a dose, I end up sneezing the next day, my nose runs a lot, and I get chest congestion. What should I do about this?
