Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been taking intermittent treatment for an allergic cold and bronchitis with my family doctor's pulmonologist and for some time for an ET ear problem with a local ENT doctor. I had allergic sneezing and irritation for about 12 days, but no fever or cough. A local ENT gave me Azithral 500 and Nasivion drops for five days. However, as I got diarrhea on the fourth day, I called my family doctor in another city who prescribed Guncef 325 twice for five days, Montair LC once daily, and Formonide inhaler in case of heavy breathing. I have completed four days and the infection is better and the spitting of whitish phlegm is very less. But I still get nose irritation, sneezing, and intermittent throat sore. I do not have a fever or cough. Kindly advice.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From your description, it seems that you are suffering from allergic rhinitis and mild intermittent asthma. From the symptoms, it is very obvious that the symptoms like nasal irritation and frequent sneezing are because of nasal allergy. You have already completed the antibiotic course so it is not advisable to repeat it again. Start Avamys nasal spray (Fluticasone furoate) one puff twice daily in each nostril and continue Montair-LC (Montelukast and Cetirizine) for the time being. Nasivion nasal spray can be taken as required. Formonide inhaler must be continued if you have a cough and breathing difficulty disturbing your daily activities.

You should always gargle after taking the Formonide inhaler every time. You should try to find out and avoid the allergy trigger responsible for your symptoms. Once you start taking these medicines regularly all your symptoms will automatically get controlled. In case of no improvement, you should visit your local pulmonologist to find out any other pathology.

The Probable causes

Nasal allergy.

Investigations to be done

Spirometry to confirm the diagnosis of asthma.

Treatment plan

Avamys nasal spray 1 puff twice daily in each nostril, Montair-LC daily once at bedtime, Formonide inhaler as per need, Nasivion nasal spray as per need.

Preventive measures

Avoid known allergic triggers.

Patient's Query

Thank you, doctor,

I am better now stopped Montair Lc. I could not get Avamys nasal spray during the lockdown. Can Duinase nasal spray be used and for how many days at a stretch?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is good to hear that you are doing well. If you are unable to get Avamys nasal spray, instead you can use Duonase nasal spray, one puff twice daily at least for three months at a stretch for good control of symptoms. But the only concern after using Duonase Nasal Spray is the bad taste which might affect its daily use. If you are comfortable with it, then it is not a big issue. Otherwise, try to get Avamys nasal spray.

You can continue other medicines as per the last discussion.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
