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?

View allIs regular steam inhalation with turmeric a good way to manage allergies, or should I be looking at other methods? I'd appreciate any advice on how to avoid allergies without relying on medications.
Regular steam inhalation with turmeric can be beneficial for allergies as turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract. The steam helps to open up the airways and relieve congestion, while turmeric can help to alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. However, it is important to note that while steam inhalation with turmeric can provide some relief, it may not be a comprehensive solution for severe allergies. In addition to steam inhalation with turmeric, there are other natural ways to help manage allergies without medication. Some tips include keeping windows closed to prevent pollen from entering the house, using air purifiers to filter out allergens, regularly cleaning and dusting the house to reduce dust mites, avoiding outdoor activities during high pollen count days, and washing bedding frequently in hot water to remove allergens. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, staying hydrated, and getting regular exercise can help support overall immune health and reduce allergy symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as severe allergies may require medication or other interventions.

I'm curious about something that's been happening to me. Whenever I'm in the kitchen and accidentally inhale heated red palm oil, I start choking and coughing, but I don't seem to have any issues with cigarette smoke, fumes from burning bushes, or car exhausts. Why does this happen? Should I be worried about a specific allergy or sensitivity to something in the red palm oil?
may be you are allergic to that smell
