I was at my grandmothers this weekend and the air in her house is really dry and I ended up getting a sore throat and a really stuffy nose. I have a bad cough and it s all been going on for 2 1/2 days. I don t have a temp so my parents don t believe I m sick. But I really just don t feel well and there s a nasty taste in the back of my throat I always get when I m sick and it won t go away.
Hello the symptoms, which mentioned in your query (sore throat, stuffy nose, cough, nasty taste)are an indication of allergic rhinitis. Allergens, as you mentioned are, in the house of your grandmother. When such type of patient visit I prescribe them to take montelukast+levoceterizine tablet once or twice in day. I also advise my patient to take AZITHROMYCIN 500 mg once in day for 3 days. Hot saline gargles help to clear from throat. But sometimes patient feels bronchoconstriction so take montelukast+albuterol tablet once or twice in day. You will get relief within 2-3 days. Good luck.
