What is the treatment for chronic allergic rhinitis?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been treated for latent tuberculosis over a six-month course, and I am perfectly healthy. However, I have chronic allergic rhinitis, which has severe symptoms, and nasal sprays like Dymista are the only things that give relief. I came to know that such immunosuppressant medications may cause activation of tuberculosis. Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

There is no need to worry about this nasal spray. It is safe for a longer duration. It will not cause immunosuppression.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
