Rechecked: Sometimes the reaction may linger on for awhile even absent heavy mold exposure. Be sure that you get the remediated re-tested with air sampling to make sure that it was done properly as I have seen pretty bad remediation efforts before.

Be systematic: It would be important to: first be certain your symptoms are actually due to allergies and next, attempt to definitively define the sources of your allergies. Then addressing with avoidance and/or medication could be more effectively implemented. There are other treatment options as well. The safety of your environment may then be evaluated.
