What fixes allergic rhinitis?
If by "fix" you mean cure permanently, immunotherapy is likely the only way this is possible. However, in terms of living with allergies (like I do), if you're merely trying to reduce your symptoms and feel better while understanding that you still have allergies, then management depends on the specific allergies, their severity, and potential avoidability. For example, if you find that you are allergic to cat dander, the fix would be to avoid cats. If you are allergic to multiple environmental triggers (such as pollen, plants, dust, mold, etc) avoidance becomes nearly impossible. My approach to allergy treatment is to start simply. Antihistamines such as cetirizine (Zyrtec), loratadine (Claritin), and fexofenadine (Allegra) are all available over the counter without a prescription. You can also try a nasal steroid spray such as fluticasone (Flonase) or mometasone (Nasonex) instead of, or in combination with, a daily antihistamine. In patients with severe symptoms that are not well controlled by the afore-mentioned options, or in patients who cannot tolerate those medicines, I usually recommend formal allergy testing by a specialist. This is most commonly achieved through skin scratch tests of a broad panel of a large number of different allergens, some of which are curated by geographic region to account for local flora. Immunotherapy is essentially a series of injections designed to gradually desensitize your body to the specific allergens a patient has tested positive to. The process is lengthy and time-consuming, and often expensive, but it really works well for many patients. READ MORE
Why do I have chronic ankle pain?
Chronic pain of a single joint is usually caused by one of two things. Historical injury (cumulative minor injuries or a singular major trauma) which has never fully healed, or some type of anatomical abnormality unique to your particular ankle joint. The latter can be acquired by favoring one side or the other, poor posture or balance, or general overuse of the ankle relative to the unaffected side. I would start by seeing your primary care doctor, who will help diagnose the issue and refer you to any specialists if necessary. They can also order various tests such as x-rays and MRIs if indicated. READ MORE
