Hello, For symptomatic relief of rhinitis, take tablet Levocetirizine 12 hourly. For prophylactic purpose, take Montelukast daily before coming into contact with triggering factors. For proper management of allergic rhinitis, find out factor (allergen) responsible for allergy. Or else you can contact allergy specialist to do skin allergy testing which will help to find out known possible allergens. Have a habit of taking antioxidant rich food like onion, garlic, dark chocolates, kidney beans etcetera. Do early morning Panama and yoga which will help you to boost up your immunity. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
