I've been struggling with allergic rhinitis for a while and honestly, it feels like I've tried it all, but nothing seems to work long-term. Every treatment I've gone through just offers short-lived relief. Is there actually a permanent cure for this? It's really becoming frustrating, and I'd love to know if there's something more effective out there.

Unfortunately, there is no permanent cure for allergic rhinitis. However, there are medications that can help manage the symptoms effectively. Antihistamines such as Claritin (loratadine) or Zyrtec (cetirizine) can help relieve sneezing, itching, and runny nose. Nasal corticosteroid sprays like Flonase (fluticasone) or Nasacort (triamcinolone) can reduce inflammation and congestion in the nasal passages. In severe cases, your doctor may prescribe immunotherapy to desensitize your body to allergens over time. It is important to continue treatment as prescribed by your healthcare provider for long-term management of allergic rhinitis.

I've just done a COVID antibody IgG ELISA test and got a result of 0.95. I'm not sure if that's normal or not since I've never had any symptoms in the past. Does this mean I was infected with COVID at some point? Also, should I consider getting my family tested too?

I got my Covishield vaccination on July 17, and the next day I was hit with fever, chills, and body aches. By the third day, it felt like I had a coldnasal congestion, sneezing, and shortness of breath. I usually deal with allergic rhinitis and experience allergies to fragrances and some foods, and I rely on my inhaler and L Montus tablets when things get uncomfortable. I'm just curious, could this sudden cold with shortness of breath be a reaction to the vaccination? Any ideas?

yes due to foreign body ingestion
