Hello. Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to know more about you like - What is your age? Since when you are having complaints? Do you have only nasal obstruction or other allergy symptoms like sneezing, running nose, itching in nose, etc.? Do you have any regurgitation of foods, especially after a heavy/spicy meal or heart burn? How frequent you have asthma complaints? Do you take any other medications frequently? Do you have any other medical conditions? What are your investigations? Etc. Above details would help me to guide you better. However, from your current history, I would like to make you follow suggestions:1. I usually prescribe my such patients regular montelukast, levocetirizine and daily nasal irrigation. I would also suggest you regular steam inhalation, it may make you feel more comfortable.2. For asthma, I would also suggest you to use albuterol or levosalbutamol inhaler on as-and-when-needed basis.3. Regular breathing exercises and a healthy diet rich in vitamins & minerals (adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc.) would also help you in a long run by improving your lung capacity and immunity respectively.4. For allergies, I would suggest you allergy testing which will help you identify the substances causing symptoms to you and also to know the measures to avoid them. 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. Thank you & Regards.
