If you are allergic based on skin prick test, and started on immunotherapy. It takes complete 3 years of treatment and you need to keep patience. Also quality of immunotherapy matters a lot. Best are allergoids.

Thank u.

You can't stop inhalers for adult or child if they have breathlessness asthma allergy etc. Do absolute eosinophil count
do total serum ige and inform then continue nebulisers and mdi inhaler
any doctor who says your child just has allergy or just bronchitis is doing a crime of not recognising your child's problems and diagnosis as asthma
treat with mdi and continue for at least 5 years.
Sometimes childhood asthma withers / goes away by 12 years of age and may come back in 40's.

I have allergy since past many years, especially due to pollen in my city. One side of nose always blocked. Clear or sometimes whitish discharge from nose when cleaned. Also allergic to dust, cats, grass, milk and cow meat. Difficulty breathing at later part of the night and early morning. Frequent sneezing in the morning. Itching on nose, face, inside mouth. Watery and itchy eyes after sneezing. Furthermore, I have been feeling weak since past 4-5 years as if I have some vitamin or mineral deficiency. Very rarely (maybe 2-3 times a year) feel that i'm about to die, a feeling difficult to explain. Also have slightly fatty liver. Other blood tests are normal taken about 6 months back. Also have lower back and cervical pain since past 5 years or so.
