I've been dealing with this allergic problem for the past couple of years, and it's been pretty frustrating. I take medication, and it seems to go away for a while, but then it's back. Recently, my doctor suggested I try acebrophylline. I'm a bit unsure about it. Should I go ahead with it, or maybe get a second opinion from another doctor?

Acebrophylline is commonly prescribed for managing respiratory allergies and asthma. If your symptoms persist despite treatment, its wise to follow up with your current doctor or seek a second opinion for a tailored long-term allergy management plan.

I have a pretty bad dust allergy, and I've been feeling feverish with a headache because of it. My doctor prescribed me Levozet tablets, but I'm worried about the drowsiness they cause. I'm still in school and cant afford to be sleepy during classes. Is it safe for me to keep taking these? What can I do about the drowsiness?

To reduce the effects of dust allergies, you can try these steps: Clean regularly Use a damp cloth or mop to clean floors, and vacuum regularly. You can also use an electrostatic cloth or brush for hard-to-reach areas. Wash bedding Wash all bedding weekly in hot water that's at least 130F (54.4C) to kill dust mites. You can also put bedding in the dryer for at least 15 minutes at a high heat setting. Use allergen-resistant covers Use zippered covers on your mattress, pillows, and box springs. Keep humidity low Use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to keep the humidity level in your home below 55%. Reduce dust traps Remove soft furniture and curtains, and avoid heavy drapes. Use a HEPA filter Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter, or install a high-efficiency media filter in your furnace and air conditioning unit. Use a dust mite spray Spray dust mite covers with a product containing acaricides to reduce symptoms. See an allergist If your symptoms are worse at home, especially when cleaning or going to bed, you can see an allergist for diagnosis and treatment.

My husband has been dealing with an allergy for the past 4 years. He went for an allergy test, and it showed he's allergic to parthenium hysterophorus and artemisia vulgaris. What do these allergies mean, and how do they occur? Is there any treatment available? We're really hoping for some guidance here.

Parthenium hysterophorus (Congress grass) and Artemisia vulgaris (Mugwort) are common allergenic plants; the allergy occurs when your husband's immune system overreacts to proteins in these plants' pollen, leading to symptoms like rhinitis, itching, and respiratory issues; treatment options include avoidance of exposure, antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, immunotherapy (allergy shots), and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), so consult an allergist or immunologist to determine the best course of treatment.
