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?

View allI'm dealing with a runny nose that mostly acts up at night, making it hard for me to get any sleep. It seems to go away only when I take medication, but it keeps coming back, especially during winter and rainy seasons. Interestingly, I don't face this issue in summer. Do you have any advice on how I can manage this better?
That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

I'm allergic to eggs and it's really frustrating. Every time I have something with eggs, like stuff from the Pasty Cake Bakery, I get this awful abdominal pain that just won't go away, even after taking medicine. Some people think I'm just imagining it, but I'm pretty sure it's real. What's weird is that sometimes I get the same pain after having cheese or paneer dishes at certain restaurants. I havent eaten eggs in the last 25 years, but now I'm thinking about trying them again. What do you suggest? Are there specific foods I should stay away from? And is there any chance this allergy could be cured?
If you have a confirmed egg allergy, it's safer to continue avoiding eggs and egg-based products, even if you haven't eaten them for a long time. If you feel the urge to try eggs again, its best to consult an allergist first. They may advise you on how to approach it, and you may even undergo treatment like oral immunotherapy in some cases, but that requires professional supervision.
