Despite taking antihistamines, my symptoms (runny nose and sneezing) have increased significantly in the last 2-3 days. I am indoors in air-conditioned spaces most of the time. What is the solution to consider?

Hello!

The air-conditioned area can sometimes cause allergic symptoms, it is also necessary to see the presence of animals, dust or smoke

Avoid allergens and the first step in treatment. The use of an antihistamine (I do not know which one you use often you can change the antihistamine

Antihistamine

Rinsing the nasal passages with salt water, a good rinse clears the mucus and allergens from the nasal passages. The use of nasal corticosteroids is also effective because they are anti-inflammatory drugs that block the allergic reaction and are usually prescribed when antihistamines do not provide relief. If necessary, if no relief is obtained, you should consult a doctor in order to get oral corticosteroids.

I hope I have answered your question correctly, or if you have a question about the choice of treatment, I invite you to call me at the pharmacy. Have a nice day
