I was diagnosed with seasonal/environmental allergies.for years, it was well controlled with chlorpheniramine. the allergies are bad now but the symptoms are constant. what should i do?

?question?other RX: If you are looking for other rx suggestions there are several available, the 1/day meds like allegra(fexophenadine) or claritin(loritadine) work fine in some & are available otc. You may want to do an environmental audit: any dust/smoke/perfume /fume products will aggrivate & feel identical to allergic triggers in some.With these issues avoidance is the key to improvement.

Need more treatment: Sometimes you need to add another type of medication, such as a prescription nose spray, or think about having shots to lessen the symptoms. See your allergist or ENT for more discussion.

Several Options: If one is having increased seasonal allergy symptoms and otc meds are not helpful see your pcp. In general the treatment for allergy symptoms include avoidance, medications ( antihistamines and nasal steroids/antihistmines) and allergy vaccines. If your pcp can't help or one's symptoms are that severe they should might suggest a visit to an allergist.

All year allergies: Seasonal allergies that have now morphed into perrenial symptoms could be indicative of the development of new allergies or the progression to a more chronic sinus issue. Use of nasal steroids can oftentime be helpful, but seeing an allergy/sinus specialist might give you the best long-term relief.
