1. Do saline gargles daily.
2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also.
3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected.
4. Drink hot liquids --hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results and gives relief in long term

Hello, you seem to have good observation about your allergic condition, I suggest you to discuss the same with your allergy expert or pulmonologist near you and decide about the action plan during the allergy season rather than self experimenting. Take care.
Hi. Currently there is no need to add anything. You might need to add steroids later if oxygen saturation drops. Lying in prone position (on your chest) is advised.

Dear Ms. lybrate-user
lupituss is a syrup that works on the brain to control your cough. Any medication that works in this manner can cause drowsiness and tiredness. Monticope is a combination of an antihistamine and montelukast. Antihistamines may cause sleepiness in upto 30% of patients even though they are claimed to be non sedating. If her cough has subsided, it would be a good idea to stop these medicines and that may be enough to stop her symptoms.
Best wishes.

Dear User, the allergy is due to a a trigger by some material or dust or pollen. If you can identify the trigger and remove it, then you can stop the medication. However if you stop the medication and you have the trigger factor around,you can still get allergies. I would recommend you to take the tablet only when there is an allergic reaction and to identify the trigger factor and remove it before completely stopping medication. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a Positive feedback as it helps me with my Practice. Thank you.
Dear User, yes you can. The generic names of the drugs are the same. It is just the brand that is different. However make sure you get the dosage right while purchasing the substitute drug.If you found my answer helpful, please leave a Positive feedback as it helps me with my Practice. Thank you.
Your son might have allergic rhinitis which usually presents in early childhood and is caused by an immunoglobulin e (ige)-mediated reaction to various allergens in the nasal mucosa. Sensitization to outdoor allergens can occur in allergic rhinitis in children older than 2 years. Clinically significant sensitization to indoor allergens may occur in children younger than 2 years. The most common indoor allergens include dust mites, pet danders, cockroaches, molds and pollens. I would recommend you to contact an allergy specialist in your area and get skin testing done for your son for aeroallergens.
