I've been sneezing quite a bit lately, like throughout the day, especially right after I wake up or when I'm dealing with dusty old things. It's becoming quite bothersome. Do you have any idea what's causing this? Could it be some kind of allergy or something else? I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything I should be doing to ease it.

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'm allergic to a lot of things, and usually, it starts with a stuffed-up nose, then my throat gets sore, and I get chest congestion along with a dry, whooping cough. Sometimes I take steam inhalation, breathing it in through my nose and mouth, but I'm wondering if that could be harmful in any way? Lately, I've also been feeling some chest tightness along with the dry cough and it's starting to worry me. Could you help me understand if the steam is safe or if there's anything else I should be concerned about?
If you are experiencing nose congestion, sore throat, chest congestion, and dry whooping cough, it sounds like you may be suffering from allergic rhinitis and possibly bronchitis. Steam inhalation can actually be helpful in relieving your symptoms. You can try using a steam inhaler with plain water or adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil for added benefit. This can help to clear your nasal passages and soothe your throat. For your chest tightness and dry cough, you can also consider using an over-the-counter cough syrup containing dextromethorphan to help suppress the cough. Additionally, an antihistamine like loratadine can help with your allergies. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging for these medications. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

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: 1. Globus sensation (a harmless condition) 2. Acid reflux 3. Tonsillitis 4. 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
