I've been dealing with a constant cough for the past five months, and a specialist I saw said it's due to allergies. He gave me some medicine and told me it would go away eventually, but it hasn't seemed to improve. What could be going on? Is there something else I should be considering or asking about?

I've been dealing with this heavy sinus issue for about 6 months now, and it's driving me crazy. I notice there's not much mucus, but I sneeze a lot, even when I try using steam. Whenever I take Montek LC, it seems to help, but if I skip even one day, my eyes feel really heavy and my nose starts running like crazy. It feels like the air is somehow getting into my nose and causing all this trouble. My doctor suggested I might need to take Montek LC forever or use an inhaler to clear the mucus. I'm really hoping for a more permanent solution. What do you think I should do?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

During the cold season, I find I keep sneezing if I wake up around 7 am. It lasts for about an hour. But if I get up later, like after 8 or 9, it doesn't seem to bother me much. I'm kind of worried about what's causing this and what I can do to help it. Any thoughts?

Azeflo nasal spray sos for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I'm dealing with a dust allergy and have been using this nasal spray called flublock. I'm wondering if I can switch to using Naselin nasal spray instead. Do they work the same way, and is one of them gentler on the nose than the other?

work same way but different ingredients
