Flu vaccination
Hi Doctors, I easily get attacked to cold in situations like dust, headbath etc.. I have been avoiding cold due to headbath with a hair dryer since years. But no solution for dust( I am allergic to dust). For me, cold symptoms would be sneezes and nose blockage. No running nose. Does Flu vaccination help?
Hello, The condition you are suffering by the description looks like nasal allergy. As you know avoiding the particles is best or else start nasal steroid sprays under medical supervision. The flu vaccine is against the viruses causing flu. It will not help in allergy.
Next Steps
Meet an ENT specialist nearby or online and start treatment for allergy
Health Tips
