Question 1

I'm having a tough time with my breathing because of something that's leaching into my throat, nose, and eyes, but especially my throat. It's causing me to cough really badly, sometimes to the point where I vomit. I even have a weird voice when I breathe. I've seen a few doctors, and they say it's allergies, but they haven't done any tests or analyses. The meds help a bit, but once I stop, the same problem comes back, or even gets worse. They've given me Motemac FX tablets, Furamist nasal spray, and some syrup, but nothing seems to be fixing the root cause. I'm confused about which doctor I should see to finally get to the bottom of this. Should I be asking for specific tests or analyses to find out exactly what's wrong with me? Any advice here?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised Ige test,X-ray paranasal sinus ,esr and C-reactive protein tests.Also Azeflo nasal spray 7ml in both the nostrils is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I've been sneezing like 20 to 30 times a day, my nose is constantly stuffy, and my eyes are so watery. I talked to an ENT doctor and they had me take fexofenadine for a month, but it's not really helping. Do you have any better ideas to help with this?

Accepted Answer

Persistent discomfort near the esophagus while swallowing can be concerning!

Given your symptoms and lack of improvement with the prescribed medications, consider the following possibilities:

1. _Esophagitis_: Inflammation of the esophagus, possibly caused by acid reflux or infection.
2. _Dysphagia_: Difficulty swallowing due to a narrowing or obstruction of the esophagus.
3. _Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)_: Stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus, causing discomfort and inflammation.
4. _Esophageal spasm_: Abnormal muscle contractions in the esophagus, leading to discomfort and difficulty swallowing.

It's essential to seek further evaluation and diagnosis from:

1. _Gastroenterologist_: For an endoscopy or other diagnostic tests to examine the esophagus and stomach.
2. _ENT specialist_: To reassess the tonsillitis diagnosis and explore other possible causes.

In the meantime, try:

1. _Avoiding trigger foods_: Identify and avoid foods that exacerbate your symptoms.
2. _Eating smaller, more frequent meals_: To reduce discomfort and difficulty swallowing.
3. _Staying upright after meals_: To minimize acid reflux and discomfort.

Please consult your doctor or a specialist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Question 3

I've been on Montair LC for over 4 years now, and every time I try to stop, I get a runny nose and my body itches like crazy. I really want to stop taking it, but it's like I can't. Do you have any ideas on how I can gradually phase it out? Is it okay if I just break the pill in half and take that instead?

Accepted Answer

take it half

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.
