Allergic Rhinitis - cetirizine alone not enough.
Better Treatment:
1. Antihistamine (Stronger):
- Levocetirizine 5mg once daily (evening)
- OR Fexofenadine 120mg once daily
- More effective than cetirizine
2. Nasal Spray (Most Important):
- Mometasone nasal spray (Nasonex/Momate)
- 2 sprays each nostril twice daily
- Works best for nose block
- Relief in 2-3 days
3. Decongestant (Quick Relief):
- Pseudoephedrine 60mg twice daily
- OR Phenylephrine nasal drops
- Only for 3-5 days
4. Combination:
- Montelukast 10mg at bedtime
- Helps with allergic symptoms
Recommended Regimen:
- Levocetirizine 5mg evening
- Mometasone nasal spray 2 puffs each side morning/night
- Montelukast 10mg bedtime
- Steam inhalation 3x daily
Avoid:
- Dust, smoke, cold air
- Sudden temperature changes
Cetirizine alone often insufficient for severe cases. Need nasal spray for best relief.
Next Steps
1. Buy TODAY: - Levocetirizine 5mg tablets - Mometasone nasal spray - Montelukast 10mg tablets 2. Start Immediately: - Levocetirizine 5mg now (evening) - Nasal spray 2 puffs each nostril morning/night - Montelukast 10mg tonight 3. Steam Inhalation: - 3 times daily - Add eucalyptus oil if available 4. Avoid Triggers: - Stay indoors if possible - Wear mask if going out - Avoid AC directly 5. Should improve in 24-48 hours 6. Continue treatment for 7-10 days 7. See doctor if no improvement in 3 days

Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
Your case has been allotted to me.
I understand your concern. Sudden sneezing and nasal blockage without fever is most likely due to allergic rhinitis or mild viral cold. Since Cetrizine did not give much relief, a slightly stronger anti allergic and nasal decongestant combination may help.
â
Advices
Stay indoors for a day, avoid dust, perfumes and sudden temperature changes.
Do steam inhalation with plain water twice daily for 5 to 10 minutes.
Keep yourself well hydrated with warm fluids and soups.
Management
You can take
⢠Tablet Levocetirizine with Montelukast (like Montair LC or equivalent) once daily at night after food for 3 to 5 days.
⢠Otrivin or Nasivion nasal drops or spray one puff in each nostril twice daily for 2 to 3 days to relieve nasal blockage.
Avoid using nasal sprays beyond 3 days to prevent rebound congestion.
What to Monitor
Frequency of sneezing and nasal obstruction.
Any development of fever, thick discharge or facial pain.
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
If symptoms persist beyond 5 days or become recurrent.
If you develop fever, headache or ear pain.
Every personâs allergy pattern differs. For long term control, allergy evaluation and preventive measures may be needed.
ð You can reach out to me directly for this case and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation.
I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one on one consultation where you will receive
A personalized allergy control plan
Safe medicine guidance
