I've been struggling with this annoying cold that comes back again and again. The sneezing starts out of nowhere and just doesn't stop until I take Montekl. But then, I end up with my nose all blocked and full of mucous. It gets so bad sometimes, and there's this burning in my respiratory tract, especially at night. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

I'm really worried about my brother. He's been experiencing some alarming symptomshe feels like somethings grabbing his neck and has difficulty swallowing. This all started after he had some cake and cookies a couple of days ago. Initially, he had an allergy reaction on his lips and tongue followed by this chokelike sensation. Should we be concerned, and what kind of specialist would he need to see to get this checked out?
Your brother may be experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction, possibly leading to throat swelling or constriction known as angioedema. This can be a serious condition and requires immediate medical attention. He should seek help from an Emergency Room or Urgent Care center without delay. In the meantime, he can take an antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25-50mg every 4-6 hours to help with the allergic symptoms. However, this is not a substitute for professional medical evaluation and treatment. Please ensure he does not eat any more of the suspected allergen and avoids any triggers that may worsen his symptoms.
