Only when the temperature drops in the fall, winter, and spring do I get sever pressure on forehead, sore throat , dry cough, and pressure and congestion of chest and lungs. I have seen a neurologist who found no abnormalities but suggested I see an ear, eye, nose or allergy specialist. Antihistamines help. These symptoms disappear in warmer temperatures in the fall, spring and in the summer. Right now my head feels like it going to explode, have a sore throat, dry cough and my chest and lungs feel pressure and congestion. Is this an allergy, what medication can I take, and is this condition curable? Can you make a diagnosis and if I can t see a specialist tomorrow what medicine if any, can I take?
Hi, The diagnosis is possible by skin prick test performed in your forearms skin or specific IGE tested in your blood. These symptoms might be from house dust mites or/and mold allergy which in fall and winter are much more present in the house or other environment, so the symptoms are more severe. The allergy from these allergens can cause the symptoms that you described. Apart the allergy you might have sinusitis, so you should see an ear, eye and nose specialist. The doctor will recommend you an X-ray of your sinuses. Until you have your appointment with your doctor you can take antihistamines, it will help. I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
