My husband has been dealing with an allergy for the past 4 years. He went for an allergy test, and it showed he's allergic to parthenium hysterophorus and artemisia vulgaris. What do these allergies mean, and how do they occur? Is there any treatment available? We're really hoping for some guidance here.

Parthenium hysterophorus (Congress grass) and Artemisia vulgaris (Mugwort) are common allergenic plants; the allergy occurs when your husband's immune system overreacts to proteins in these plants' pollen, leading to symptoms like rhinitis, itching, and respiratory issues; treatment options include avoidance of exposure, antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, immunotherapy (allergy shots), and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), so consult an allergist or immunologist to determine the best course of treatment.

View allMy friend has this issue where every time she smells something, she starts coughing and it's like her nose gets blocked or something. She's been using a Duolin inhaler and some cough medicine, but it only seems to help temporarily. We're kind of worried and wondering if there's an actual treatment to get rid of this problem for good. Any advice on what might be going on or what we should do?
you have to avoid allergens , and consult pulmonologist for changes in food allergens

I've been struggling with this annoying sneezing problem that's related to allergies, and it's been coming and going for a while now. The other day, I went to a pharmacy, and the pharmacist gave me a tablet called okacet. I'm really curious about what this okacet tablet is actually used for and if it's going to help with my sneezing issue. Also, I'm a 35-year-old guy, so I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take?
yes you can take it

I'm a 28-year-old woman and for the last couple of months, I've been having some trouble with my breathing off and on. My ECG came back normal, but my RBCs were a bit low at 9.8. I saw a doctor and they gave me antiallergic meds, but they haven't really helped. I'm thinking it might be something to do with allergies because the issue started around wheat harvesting season. There's no wheezing or any sleep discomfort, but it does feel like my deep breaths get interrupted. Can allergies last this long? I'm not having any fever or throat pain, and my tonsils seem fine. Could this breathing trouble be linked to PNS? How can I find out if allergies are the real cause? This is the only health problem I'm dealing with right now.
yes PNS can cause, do spirometry, chest x ray ,allergy testing ,blood tests
