A member asked:
Have bad allergies. steroid sprays give me nosebleeds. (i spray outwards). refuse allergy shots. is it worth seeing an allergist? options?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes!: Unless you already know everything that you are allergic to, it would be good to see an allergist to determine what you are allergic to, and therefore try to avoid it, and there are also some new oral antihistamines on the market that may help! Have you tried Astelin nasal spray? It is an antihistamine spray, so it might not cause nosebleeds if you use it. Requires a Rx tho'.

Yes it is worth: seeing an Allergist, they are there for the very symptoms and "bad" allergies as you described, if you already saw one and didn't meet your expectations, see anothr for a second opinion, don't hesitate if you are a candidate for immunotherapy (allergy shots) provided the right indication, proper adminstration and duration, in addition to other medications and studies, goodluck
