Allergies (probably pollen)

Cetrizine. Anti allergens. Speak to a doc

Speak to a Doctor. In Bangalore parthenium rules.

I get very severe pollen allergies around October to December every year. I usually go to the doctor and now use the same prescription for a five day course and usually get better. Don’t worry, you can ask for antihistamines that doesn’t make you drowsy. Otherwise, > Wear a mask > Dry clothes indoors if possible > Shower right after you get home > Keep windows shut at home > Carry Nasivion or Otrivin for congested nose

Try Jal Neti. Doing it first thing in the morning can reduce congestion and help with a lot of allergy. I have being doing it in NCR and find a lot of comfort with my allergies.

In the same situation, no solution found yet

Oh this one I have been struggling since childhood. Earlier it was just runny nose and constant sneezing for almost 20 yrs (started around 10 yrs of age). I met an ENT when this was coming back every 2 months - was recommended vaccination and with that it went off completely for almost 2.5 odd years. Returned again, but this time no runny nose or sneezing (that became smaller problem). Bigger problem was itchy eyes constantly for hours. During my medication earlier for runny nose and sneezing Duonase nasal spray use to help a lot. I tried the same for itchy eyes and it worked the same for me - immediately relief within 10-15 minutes. I don’t recommend any of the above medication unless you have consulted your own doctor and taken it in his/her guidance. Sharing only because it helped me

Please don’t self medicate. Consult with a local doctor.

Shut windows at night, get an air purifier for night time (I have Mi since few years and works well)

I have been facing the exact same problem since I started my job 2 years ago. Had sneezing problem from childhood but it increased in the last 2 years. One thing I noticed is when I'm in blr it reduces but whenever I go back to my hometown indore it happens again. Consulted with the doctor he asked for igg antibody test which came too high and gave anti histamine for 15 days then its gone but reoccurs after 3 months.

Deviated nasal septum can aggravate your allergies. You should get it checked

I feel like we need to be able to self medicate some things like cold and cough. But since this has been going on with me for a while I might have to speak to a doc

I had the same problem. And it got a bit severe, my bouts of allergies were turning into fever and cold on a weekly basis. Got an allergy test (skin prick test), and turns out I'm allergic to a ton of things. But the most severe reaction for me was caused by dustmites. So just changing a few things in my life, like changing the bedsheets every 3 days, doctor recommended every day, but I can't do that amount of laundry. Using dustmite proof covers on bedsheets and pillows have brought the allergies under control.

I have the same problem. My eyes get watery and sneezing when I leave home

I have severe pollen allergy leading to sinus pain, blocked head and nose 24 hours. went to the best of best ENT docs in Bangalore and was told after multiple tests and scan they I’m part of 3% people that won’t be able to stay in city and I would have to either change the city or move towards outskirts towards airport if I wanted to get some relief as heavy steroids use is not recommended for long term
