Don't want to quit

I have been working at an animal hospital for 2 months and I have been sick for 5 weeks. I am wheezing,coughing, and I have a sore throat. I am taking over the counter allergy medicine because I am allergic to cats. I really like my new job. Can anyone give me some answers on what to do. It is hard to find a job now a days it took a long time to find this one. I don't know what I should do. Please help me.



Thank,you

Hello,
Cat allergen, the allergy causing material from cats, is not cat hair, but rather a protein present in the dander and saliva of cats. These allergens become airborne as microscopic particles, which when inhaled into the nose or lungs can produce allergic symptoms.

If you are allergic to cats but you have to be around cats,then take some antihistaminic like Benadryl or Claritin. Allergy desensitization shots or immunotherapy is another obvious and very effective way to work around a cat allergy.

I sincerely suggest you to get an examination done by an allergist and discuss these options with him.Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted.
