I've been dealing with allergies from things like dust and pollen, which usually leave me with a running nose and watery eyes. To manage this, I've been taking Cetrizine 10mg every few days for about a year now. I'm just a bit worried about whether there are any serious side effects from using this medication long-term? Or maybe there's a better way to handle this that I haven't tried?

I've been hearing some chatter about whether swallowing semen over several months might bring on asthma, and I'm pretty curious if there's any truth to that. Can you shed some light on whether there's any connection?

I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis for a while. Montair FX helps, but I have issues whenever I don't take it. I've been on it every day for the past year. Can you tell me if there's a cure for this or what else I should do?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I've been having a really tough time sleeping because my nostrils keep getting blocked, and I'm pretty sure it's because of my allergic rhinitis. I was on rupafin and medrol last March, but I haven't done any follow-up consultations since then. Could that be why my symptoms are persisting? What should I do next? Should I consider going back for another check-up or is there something else that might help in the meantime?
