Question 1

I'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?

Accepted Answer

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

Question 2

I'm supposed to have an IgE Allergy Antibody blood test in a few days, and I'm wondering about my daily routine. Is it okay to keep taking my multivitamin, Riconia Silver, or should I pause it until the test is done? I'm kind of concerned about how it might affect the results. Any advice would be great!

Accepted Answer

Visit your Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

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.
