Question 1

Why do I start sneezing non-stop and get a runny nose if I brush my teeth late after waking up? It's really frustrating because it affects my whole day. I saw a doctor in Nellore, A.P., and he gave me MontipLC for two months but it didnt help much. He suggested some tests at Apollo Hospital in Chennai. What do you think I should do next or what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 2

I've been on Montek LC for about a month to manage my runny nose and allergies. My doctor suggested that I gradually reduce my dosage before stopping completely. Can you give me some guidance on how to taper off Montek LC safely?

Accepted Answer

Typically, you can gradually reduce the dose over a period of time to minimize any potential withdrawal symptoms or recurrence of symptoms. For example, if you were taking one tablet daily, you may reduce it to one tablet every other day for a week, then one tablet every two days for another week, and so on until you can safely stop taking the medication. It is important to follow your doctor's guidance and not to abruptly stop Montek LC to avoid any adverse effects. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms during the tapering process, be sure to consult your doctor for further advice.

Question 3

I have a pretty bad dust allergy, and I've been feeling feverish with a headache because of it. My doctor prescribed me Levozet tablets, but I'm worried about the drowsiness they cause. I'm still in school and cant afford to be sleepy during classes. Is it safe for me to keep taking these? What can I do about the drowsiness?

Accepted Answer

To reduce the effects of dust allergies, you can try these steps:
Clean regularly
Use a damp cloth or mop to clean floors, and vacuum regularly. You can also use an electrostatic cloth or brush for hard-to-reach areas. 
Wash bedding
Wash all bedding weekly in hot water that's at least 130F (54.4C) to kill dust mites. You can also put bedding in the dryer for at least 15 minutes at a high heat setting. 
Use allergen-resistant covers
Use zippered covers on your mattress, pillows, and box springs. 
Keep humidity low
Use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to keep the humidity level in your home below 55%. 
Reduce dust traps
Remove soft furniture and curtains, and avoid heavy drapes. 
Use a HEPA filter
Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter, or install a high-efficiency media filter in your furnace and air conditioning unit. 
Use a dust mite spray
Spray dust mite covers with a product containing acaricides to reduce symptoms. 
See an allergist
If your symptoms are worse at home, especially when cleaning or going to bed, you can see an allergist for diagnosis and treatment.

I'm really struggling with this issue where I get this unbearable headache whenever I leave the fan on overnight. It also makes my sneezing worse. Ive seen a doctor about it, but the problem just keeps coming back. Do you have any suggestions or remedies that could help?
