Question 1

so allergic rhinitis is aggrivating my asthma horribly and making my lungs very hypersensitive. what is the best medicine for rhinitis/asthma?

Accepted Answer

Allergy shots: Once you are tested and know what you are allergic to, an allergist can discuss with you several treatment options, the long lasting solution is getting desensitized to your allergens that trigger your asthma.

Question 2

can i have any medicine for rhinitis? and why in uk they keep calling hay ferver? i'm pregnant

Accepted Answer

Meds with Pregnancy: Because you are pregnant, the medications you can take are limited.  The worry is that some medications may harm the developing fetus.  Hayfever is a term used to denote nasal allergy, and doesn't have any fever associated with it.
Discuss any medications with your doctor and do not self medicate yourself.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

AYURVEDIC MEDICINE: Is the traditional medicine of india, originating some 5, 000 yrs ago.It emphasizes on re establishing balance in the body through diet, lifestyle, exercise, and body cleansing, with improvements in the health of body, mind and spirit.
As far as how it makes chronic rhinitis better specificslly, I have not a clue.

Question 4

what is a simple, ayurvedic, or homeopathic medicine for chronic rhinitis?

Accepted Answer

Chronic Rhinitis: I agree with dr. Miller that dairy and gluten products lead to rhinitis and post-nasal drip in many people.  However, there are also some homeopathic remedies which may help.  Some to consider for different types of rhinitis are allium cepa, pulsatilla, and euphrasia.  If your rhinitis is chronic, you may benefit more from constitutional care with a well-trained homeopath.

Question 5

non-allergic motor-vaso rhinitis have been diagnosed with the above ailment, have been to 7 ent mds and 4 internists, have tried every medicine there is and nothing helps. runny nose, burning, teary eyes, can anybody help? please?

Accepted Answer

Chronic : Chronic nonallergic rhinitis is not a specific diagnosis, it is given when a person has sneezing, runny nose, congestion and drainage, but no allergic cause can be found.  We have four ways to determine allergy (blood and skin tests, direct challenge, or strong evidence from historical correlation).  In the us the first two are most commonly used, but in europe nasal challenge is sometimes used (spain has some of the world experts).  When skin and blood tests don't show an allergic cause but nasal allergen challenge does, we call this entopy (allergy isolated to that body area).   Nasal challenge studies have shown that some patients diagnosed with non-allergic rhinitis actually have challenge proven allergic triggers.  In the us, allergist can perform skin testing to common environmental triggers; such as tree, grass and weed pollens, molds, dust and mites, and animal danders.  Sometime a cause can be missed because only blood tests are used (and this testing method is not very good at diagnosing nasal allergy). There is also the possibility of not testing for the right things, mouse and rat for example can cause severe allergy but are not usually looked for unless we get the history that there is a rodent problem at home or work.  Similarly there can be allergy to cockroach or ladybug.  Foods can cause nasal and eye symptoms as well but will usually also cause mouth or digestive problems as well.  Food preservatives and dyes can also be hidden causes.  Medicines as well, such as hormonal replacements, blood pressure medicines, medicines for prostate problems, topical nasal decongestants, and pain medicines such as aspirin.  People with sensitivity to Aspirin and related NSAID medicines like Ibuprofen can have nasal and eye symptoms and are at potential risk for more severe life threatening reactions.  If a person is very sensitive they may even react to naturally occurring salicylates in food.  Rarely more severe diseases can have prominent nasal symptoms; diabetes, sarcoidosis, wegener's, polychondritis and uremia.  Infections; leishmaniasis, leprosy, tb, syphilis, sporotricosis, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, coccidiomycosis but a person would have other symptoms and usually be quite ill.  Ideally if a cause can be found and the trigger avoided then medicines can be avoided.  If no cause is found or it is unavoidable various treatments to try alone or in combination would include; nasal flushing with clean preferably boiled water, salt and baking soda, oral or topical antihistamines, ipratropium nasal spray , cromolyn nasal spray(over the counter), or nasal steroid sprays.  Leukotriene blocking medicines originally designed for asthma treatment are not steroids and are approved fro nasal symptoms, I have many patients that have responded well to singulair, (montelukast) Accolate (which has a generic) or zyflo (very costly).  I hope you find relief!

Question 6

my ten month old has a fever of 100.8 what should i do i gave him medicine but its still not helping. he also has a runny nose and coughing?

Accepted Answer

: There is no reason to do anything. Fever at this level isn't harmful at all. Probably he just has a cold, but it could be COVID and he (and other family members) should be tested for it. Contact the child's pediatrician for advice. Good luck.

Question 7

hi, im not sure what is wrong. when i swallow pills my chest kind of hurts like its getting stuck there and i have a cough and a runny nose. could i be getting g a cold or or could it be heartburn? is there otc from the store medicine i can take?

Accepted Answer

: Runny nose and cough are typical symptoms of a cold (viral upper respiratory infection). It should not cause heartburn.
Pain with swallowing pill is not normal but you did not specify what pill you were taking. OTC medication for heartburn is not helpful for pain when swallowing pill unless you have history of reflux esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus due to reflux GERD).
Please elaborate.

Question 8

hey my wife is 19 and she has covid-19 with a fever thats been going on for 3 days. she also has a sore throat, runny nose, bad cough, and chills. she takes zoloft for her anxiety and she needs to know if she can take cold and flu otc medicine. ty?

Accepted Answer

: Treat symptoms, nasal saline may be helpful in relieving nasal congestion. Treat fever with Tylenol and monitor breathing. If there are signs of distress, please seek medical attention. The cough may linger, and if present at three weeks, discuss a ches image and evaluation with your physician. The OTC cough medications have potential side effects but may be used judiciously.

Question 9

what medicine can treat a runny nose?

Accepted Answer

Rhinitis: Runny nose can be treated by any of the antihistamines available, prescription or non prescription.

Question 10

sir, what is the best medicine for runny nose?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: Clear discharge is a symptom that is common to allergy, irritation by very hot or cold air, viral infections, to name a few. Each condition responds differently to medication. If  your runny nose is seasonal, allergy is more likely. You may try an over the counter antihistamine such as cetirizine, fexofenadine or loratadine. If they don't help and your nose continues to run, see a physician.
