Tell me how im supposed to breathe with no Air?

by Medboi, Feb 06, 2009 11:34PM
I HAVE NEVER IN MY ENTIRE LIFE HAD ALLERGY UNTILL NOW I AM 20 YRS OLD. I have had allergies for about 6 months now. I went to the doctor and she told me i had rhinitis. My symptoms include my nose always being clogged up which causes me to breath through my mouth and it also leaks fluid out of my nose sometimes. I also have gotten some scaly rashes around my eyes.

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Scaly rash could be due to atopic or contact dermatitis. Psoriasis or even eczema.
It is difficult to comment without examination. What is important is you must find out what is causing this allergy. Common allergens are pollen, mold, dust, pet dander, cosmetics or drugs. You must get an allergy test done, either a skin test or by RAST, to know what you are allergic to. Seasonal allergies are generally due to pollen or dust. Any cosmetic you apply on face or eye or even for your hair like shampoos or dyes too can cause allergies.

Over the counter antihistamines, decongestants, non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs all help. Taking steam will relieve the clogging of your nostrils. With proper treatment you will be fine again breathing through your nostrils normally. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
