<bot>: Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to know more about you like nose symptoms apart from sneezing, eye symptoms, cough/chest symptoms, stomach symptoms, skin allergies, other medical conditions, whether you smoke, your environmental conditions, any medicines, etc. etc. However, at present, from your given history, I would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. I usually suggest my such patients regular montelukast + levocetirizine for 2-4 weeks, depending upon response.2. I would also suggest you allergy testing for common air-borne allergens such as house dust mites, pollen, molds, insect proteins, animal dander, etc. This will help you identify the substance causing allergies to you as well as to know the measures to avoid them.3. Based on allergy testing, an Allergist-Immunologist may prescribe you allergen specific immunotherapy which works on immune system to gradually improve allergy symptoms.4. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes, air pollution and cold air as much as possible.5. Regular breathing exercises might help. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
