<bot>: Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history. I would like to make following suggestions to you:1. Please continue your inhaler therapy. Make sure your technique of using inhaler is correct. Personally I would suggest you to use metered dose inhaler with spacer device, which ensures maximum Chat Doctor. 2. Were I treating you, I would add daily montelukast and cetirizine/levocetirizine to your regular treatment. This will improve your both rhinitis and asthma symptoms.3. I would suggest you to consult an Allergist-Immunologist who will suggest you allergy testing. This will help you to identify substances you are allergic to. The Allergist may suggest you specific allergen immunotherapy which will improve your immune system to reduce allergy symptoms.4. It's great that you have quit smoking. I would also suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution as much as possible.5. Personally I would suggest you to learn and perform regular breathing exercises, Yoga & Panama, which will improve your lung capacity.6. A healthy diet rich in vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants (e.g., adequate green leafy vegetables, fruits, whole grains, sprouts, etc.) will also be helpful to you in long run. Ass you have asked about allergy treatment center in Bangalore, I must say there are some very good Allergist-Immunologists in Bangalore at present. You may choose any one of them depending upon your ease of travel. However, personally I would suggest you Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) where a lot of Allergy-Immunology work is going. Well, allergy-asthma are very well manageable and most persons with allergy-asthma can live absolutely normal life with appropriate treatment. So I would suggest you not to get depressed and have a positive attitude and efforts towards your health. Hope My answer will be helpful to you. Wish you the best of the health. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Thank you & Regards.
