A member asked:
I've seen an allergist and ent for my throat issues. i've gotten a scope done and have been on antihistamines and sprays. nothing works, what's next?

Bad allergies: Several things potentially next: 1. 3rd line additional meds can include Singulair, (montelukast) topical or oral chromolyn, allergy eye drops, and/or short burst steroids. 2. Allergy testing followed by course of "shots" and/or avoidance (air filter, new mattress, upholstery, carpet, etc, lose pets, move to different climate, etc). If you are severely allergic then you should score high on allergy panel.
