Hi! I have a strong family history of allergic rhinitis. Almost everyone of my family have it.. I've been a little bit worried about it since last year because a little change in weather makes me sick and the worst thing is if I've been exposed to the air coming from the electric fan while sleeping for sure the next day I have an allergy already. Then I went to my doctor and I had a long time treatment which really cost me a lot. Then my doctor gave me a flu vaccine which will make my immune system better and a maintenance to drink each time i feel like having an allergy. And guess what? I'm so happy to say that I never experience allergic rhinitis since then. The meds my doctor gave me is very good. It's too small that you can't imagine how effective it is. I can share to you some tips on how to deal with your allergy. Hey, it helped me a lot why not share it to others?...=)

I have had that when I was in my younger years but I guess I outgrew it now that I am an adult already. I've had many medications too given to me by my doctor. But then I read something like Allergic Rhinitis is caused by poor immune system that the body becomes too sensitive to anything they encounter in the environment. So the key there is to boost your immune system to the best of your ability and try to maintain when you have it.

Wow! You're good! I was surprised! lol well, now I can say that I'm not the only one concern to allergic rhinitis huh! hehehe.. One way to boost your immune system is through the flu vaccine. We should be vaccinated once a year. Better be careful because allergic rhinitis is hereditary and we are so unlucky because we got it! hehehe... Thanks for your time rsa101! =)

Hi! I've checked your info and your from san juan (I hope it ok with you =)). Well... well...well.. we're both filipino huh! =) I'm really amazed by your intellectuality.. Heeww! =) That was awesome! hehehe.. Are you a doctor? lol... How much is a flu vaccine in your place? I have a friend who happens to be a doctor and she's giving a discount to flu vaccine. Her price is very cheap compared to my doctor's fee. When she told me about this I already have the vaccine. I'll refer you to her if you want. I know the feeling of having a rhinitis and I want to help you If you want only =) Maybe, you can send me a personal message then i will respond to you there. I just don't want others to read the name and amount that I'm goin to tell you. =) So, hope to hear from you soon! =) Take care my friend! =)
