Prolonged Cold

by abhishah1987, Jun 27, 2009 12:36PM
Hi all
     I shifted to Melbourne around a year ago, i have had a cold since then. I have been to a physician a couple of times, they all have told me that is some kind of an allergy, i have a blocked nose, wheezing and now there's something very weird happening, i feel my throat is choked, its making food very hard to swallow and i am having to gulp water and food.
Can some please advise me of what this could be, is it allergy or something else.
Thank You

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Yes, it is possible that it is allergy. Also certain climates can trigger allergic reactions. Fungus in nasal passages too can cause similar symptoms. What is important is you must find out what is causing this allergy. Common allergens are pollen, mold, dust, pet dander, synthetic fiber, cosmetics or drugs. You must get an allergy test done, either a skin test or RAST, to know what you all are allergic to.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage.  Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
