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?
