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've been dealing with allergy symptoms like airway inflammation, itchy nose, and itchy throat for a while now. In the past, I used to have really bad wheezing, but since I started doing breathing exercises, I haven't had any asthma attacks. However, I still feel like I frequently have some kind of allergies. My symptoms include sinus inflammation, ear pain, throat pain, and irritation in my nose and throat. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to see a pulmonologist for longer-term treatment. Can a pulmonologist help with all kinds of allergies, like food allergies, or should I look elsewhere for that kind of help?
yes pulmonologist can resolve

Is regular steam inhalation with turmeric a good way to manage allergies, or should I be looking at other methods? I'd appreciate any advice on how to avoid allergies without relying on medications.
Regular steam inhalation with turmeric can be beneficial for allergies as turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract. The steam helps to open up the airways and relieve congestion, while turmeric can help to alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. However, it is important to note that while steam inhalation with turmeric can provide some relief, it may not be a comprehensive solution for severe allergies. In addition to steam inhalation with turmeric, there are other natural ways to help manage allergies without medication. Some tips include keeping windows closed to prevent pollen from entering the house, using air purifiers to filter out allergens, regularly cleaning and dusting the house to reduce dust mites, avoiding outdoor activities during high pollen count days, and washing bedding frequently in hot water to remove allergens. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, staying hydrated, and getting regular exercise can help support overall immune health and reduce allergy symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as severe allergies may require medication or other interventions.
