I suffer from seasonal allergies, but when I blow my nose I taste metal....I have only taken OTC medication. My head hurts, and I am totally congested. When I blow, there is no thick green mucous just lots and lots of clear white...this has been going on for months. What do you recommend?
Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to Allergic rhino-tracheo-bronchitis. Presented with similar complaints, I usually treat my patients with:1. Tablet Allegra 60 mg twice a day or Tablet Levocetrizine 10 mg in the evening.2. Tablet Montelukast 10 mg in the evening.3. Stalin inhaler (if there is associated breathing difficulty).4. Voice rest-avoid talking in loud voice & for a long time.5. Stay protected from exposure to cold, dust & other allergens.6. Steam inhalation.7. Avoid smoking, cold food & Chat Doctor.
