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.

I'm experiencing this really frustrating issue where my skin starts itching about 45 days after I eat things like tur dal or chana dal. It's not just itching eitherthere's noticeable swelling, and it's super irritating. I've been taking cetirizine tablets to help with the itching, but they leave me feeling dizzy afterwards. Is there anything else I can do to manage these symptoms, or should I be avoiding certain foods altogether? I'm just not sure what steps to take next.
Here's a step-by-step approach to help you manage this issue: Identifying the Cause 1. Food allergy or intolerance: It's possible that you have a food allergy or intolerance to certain legumes like tur dal and chana dal. 2. Histamine release: Cetrizine helps alleviate itching, but the dizziness side effect suggests that histamine release might be a contributing factor. Dietary Changes 1. Elimination diet: Try removing tur dal, chana dal, and other potential allergenic foods from your diet for 2-3 weeks to see if symptoms improve. 2. Food diary: Keep a food diary to track which foods trigger itching and swelling.
