Question 1

i have a chronic nasal allergy. every day it gets blocked and have depend on a nasal drop which opens it up.

Accepted Answer

Go see your doctor: I don't know what's available in india so you'll need to see your local doc. I assume nasal is salt water. Avoid nasal decongestant sprays that quickly lead to rhinitis medicamentosa which is fancy way of saying you become addicted to them. Check out http://www.Nytimes.Com/2006/03/14/health/14spra.Html. Consider nasal steroids & oral antihistamines like loratadine. Maybe montelukast. Ask your doc.

Question 4

what is the definition or description of: nasal allergy?

Accepted Answer

Hay fever : Nasal allergy is also called hay fever but it could have nothing to do with hay and only causes fever if there is an infection on top of the allergy problem.  Nasal allergies could be caused by pets, dust, mold, grasses, trees, weeds, and feathers for example.  Treatment includes avoidance measures, anti-histamines like allegra, nasal sprays like nsacort and sometimes allergy shots.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Usually oral: Most meds to treat allergy are oral and consist of antihistamines, steroid and antihistamine nasal sprays, and if those are not effective allergy shots of the things you react to on allergy testing. See an allergist.

Question 7

can i take similasan nasal allergy relief twice a day?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This is a homeopathic saline nasal spray that can be used "as needed".  It should be safe to use several times a day for symptoms of allergy.  You are probably benefiting most from the saline itself, as this helps to shrink nasal membranes and may help some allergy symptoms.

Question 8

is nasal allergy or nasal rhinitis has connection to a food allergy?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Could be food allergies or intolerances (notice how long after you eat a suspect food this starts), but more likely inhalant allergy or reaction to pollution or smoke.  Cleaning up your diet with fresh veggies, fruits, fiber can help, avoiding the "whites" refined sugar, flour, etc and chemicals found in diet foods.  Powdered (not tablet)  vit c (3000 mg) helps symptoms, butterbur, quercetin, too.

Question 9

i am wondering if its ok for me to be taking similasan nasal allergy relief 2 times a day?

Accepted Answer

With Caution: The use of herbs is a time-honored approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. Herbs, however, can trigger side effects and interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, you should take herbs only under the supervision of a health care practitioner. This nasal spray can be used as needed so taking it 2 times a day should be ok.

Question 10

how can i tell the difference between nasal allergy and sinusitis

Accepted Answer

Associated symptoms: Persons with nasal allergy typically have congestion, clear nasal discharge, itchy and watery eyes. If symptoms last more than one week, a viral cold is unlikely. If the drainage changes to anything other than clear, it may be infected (sinusitis). Colored drainage suggests infection, but clear drainage does not rule it out. Many allergic symptoms are seasonal, but not pet or dust mite allergy.
