Hi doctor, I have been diagnosed in my teens with dust allergy. In the diagnosis, it was shown that I have a high eosinophil count. My nasal septum is also deviated to the left, making the left nostril almost completely blocked. The right nostril due to my allergy, has swelling, nasal polyps. I sneeze a lot when there's dust or when the allergy triggers. My breathing is impacted by this a lot, and I have to keep using oxymetazoline hydrochloride (nasivion spray) to keep my nose unblocked. I have been prescribed some allergy related medicine before, but it only reduces the problem, doesn't fix it for good. I don't want to be dependent on a nasal spray to breathe normally, so I'd like to know your opinion and suggestions. Looking forward to your reply, as this is the first time I'm seeking online doctor help. Thanks, Sushant.

Hi doctor, How common is the case of dust allergy, coupled with a deviated nasal septum and nasal polyps? I've been diagnosed in my teens, about 6 years ago, of having dust allergy. The eosinophil count was high, (18%) which according to my previous doctor, is permanent allergy. My concern apart from my allergy triggering when I am in a dusty environment is that I have a DNS on the left, and nasal polyps in the right nostril. This makes breathing a challenge. I've been prescribed a 50mg ciclesonide nasal spray, but that hardly helps me relieve the congestion. I'm not sure what the doctor had in mind, but I'm sure there is a good reason I'm unaware of. Since that spray doesn't help, I use an oxymetazoline hydrochloride IP 0.05% spray (OTC Nasivion) to help relieve the congestion and make it easier to breathe. But there's some rebound congestion which is just very annoying. I would like to stop using the spray and pursue a permanent line of treatment. What's your recommendation?
