Hi,

It would take some time for you to be completely symptom free. It is also a possibility that your symptoms may still remain to osme extent. You are allergic to acts and could have those symptoms  with respect to some other substances also.

You should contiue taking your medications including oral antihistamine medications and inhalers and nasal sprays.

Follow up with your doctor regularly.

Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.

Regards.

Hi,

You should continue with the inhaler medications.

Try levocetrizine or loratadine - both of which are non sedating oral antihistamine medications.

Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.

Best wishes.
