A member asked:
If my allergy symptoms are easily managed with a daily otc allergy pill, should i still see an allergist? i've never been to one.

Probably not: but I have found many patients having significant nasal obstruction despite absence of subjective symptoms. The problem is that they have known nothing else . Since nasal obstruction is associated with many complications (dental malocclusion, sinusitis etc), you should ask your doctor to check your nose when when are feeling "well". If the nasal swelling is still significant, see allergist.
