I've been dealing with allergy symptoms like airway inflammation, itchy nose, and itchy throat for a while now. In the past, I used to have really bad wheezing, but since I started doing breathing exercises, I haven't had any asthma attacks. However, I still feel like I frequently have some kind of allergies. My symptoms include sinus inflammation, ear pain, throat pain, and irritation in my nose and throat. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to see a pulmonologist for longer-term treatment. Can a pulmonologist help with all kinds of allergies, like food allergies, or should I look elsewhere for that kind of help?

View allI'm allergic to different smells like perfumes and soaps, and whenever I'm around them, I start sneezing, get a runny nose, and my eyes get really watery. It's been happening a lot more lately. On some dates, my Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) numbers look like this: February was 1350, March went down to 980, April was 800, August dropped to 705, but then in September, it shot up to 1035. I've been on Hetrazan 100mg tablets during March, April, May, and August, but even with the medication, my AEC went up again in September. Any idea why this is happening or how I can better manage it?

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?
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 dealing with a runny nose that mostly acts up at night, making it hard for me to get any sleep. It seems to go away only when I take medication, but it keeps coming back, especially during winter and rainy seasons. Interestingly, I don't face this issue in summer. Do you have any advice on how I can manage this better?
That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.
