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?

The sensation of a lump or tightness in your throat is likely due to:
- Globus sensation (a harmless condition)
- Acid reflux
- Tonsillitis
- Muscle tension
Consult an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, try:
- Gargling with warm salt water
- Avoiding acidic or spicy foods
- Managing stress through relaxation techniques

How can I taper off this combination tablet of Fexofenadine 120 mg and Montelukast 10 mg? Is it possible for me to cut the tablet into four pieces and take one piece each month, or do I need to buy lower doses of Fexofenadine and Montelukast and gradually decrease the mg each month? Anytime I try stopping for a couple of days without tapering, I end up with itching all over my body, which I've never experienced before. I was prescribed this for cold symptoms I get every morning, though I'm fine by the afternoon. They've run several tests, including X-rays, and I'm just trying to figure out the best way to stop taking these meds.
You can taper by taking the medication every alternate day or by taking fexofenadine 60 mg and montelukast 4 or 5 mg which are available separately
