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

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.

Treat both nose/lung: Using an antihistamine and a nasal corticosteroid spray for the nose . Using controller medications for lungs (ics spray, montelucast tablet and if severe an ics/laba combo inhaler) treatment before the allergic exposure works better. See your doctor so he can discuss these options with you.

Combination: A combination of treatments may include an antihistamine, inhaled steroid and a leukotriene antagonist. The avoidance of triggers identified on allergy testing is an initial step. A HEPA filter unit helps to reduce exposure to allergens, and follow up appointments with your allergist to discuss immunotherapy is suggested. A virtual Healthtap consultation may provide additional information.
