Allergies? Help!
by jtizzly, Dec 05, 2007 08:34AM
Last July (2006), I had septoplasty to correct my extremely deviated septum. Ever since then, my nose has been persistently stuffy. I went to an ENT doctor about it in June, and he said that it was probably seasonal allergies and prescribed Nasonex. STILL no change in my breathing, so I went back over Thanksgiving weekend. The doctor still maintains that it's allergies and prescribed Fexofenadine (Allegra, I think) and Singulair--and instructed me to continue using the Nasonex as well. It's been 2 weeks and I've still seen no change!
I feel like taking three allergy medications simultaneously is a bit excessive. In addition, stuffy nose is the ONLY allergy-like symptom that I have--I don't have itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose, skin problems, etc. I'm just so disappointed because I thought I'd finally be able to breathe clearly after the septoplasty and now, a year and a half later, my breathing is just as bad as ever. Can anybody give me an idea as to what's going on in my nose???
