I have a known allergy to dust and have been taking Cetirizine, but it does not seem to be providing much relief. I have attached my report for your review. Should I consider a stronger dose or an alternative medication?

If symptoms persist, doctor may increase antihistamine dose or switch to a longer acting secong generation anti histamine drug like bilastine. Consider allergy testing or consult an allergist.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a IgE Test Test or Take a ESR Test (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) Test

I am allergic to many things like dust and strong smell. What is the cough allergy test? Should I also get it done? I am 32 years old working as a HR in an MNC. Is it worth doing this allergy test? Can I get a permanent solution for this cough allergy?

Everyday once I come back from office, after 7 pm, I start to get itching mostly on forearms, neck, and chest. After itching, red patches appear. They vary in size and sometimes last for more than 2 hours. Sometimes they stay till morning, and I can see and feel itching in the morning. In the morning, I feel it only twice or thrice, usually disappearing by morning. Some nights I feel suddenly attacked with too much itching at the same time on multiple body parts. This condition has been present for more than a month. I consulted a dermatologist. His prescription is attached. Until I kept taking the dose (only 1 tablet Teczine) every night for 15 days, I did not get these symptoms. Now, for the last 1 week, I am feeling the same again. Note: I did not take it continuously, completing 2 weeks dose almost in 3 weeks. As per doctor prescription, I took blood report, attached, which is normal. I am very much disturbed. Please suggest some help. I am not able to focus. Can you please help?
