The medicines given by your doctor will work. He has given medicines to take care of allergy, the phlegm as well as the current acute episode. Smoking decreases the mucosal ciliary movement which pushes mucus towards the stomach. Due to this, mucus accumulates and becomes phlegm which bothers you. It also increases mucus production due to the door and the smoke it produces. You should stop smoking at least for now and see if the symptoms improve. And in the long run, you must quit smoking. At your young age, it is possible to quit. Later on, it becomes impossible.

Allergy, pollution, and smoking all three are interrelated. Allergy is a tendency of your body to get sensitive to certain substances which others are not and produce excess mucus and other symptoms like sneezing, itching, running nose, headache, and facial fullness. Smoke and pollution worsen allergy. Smoke destroys the nasal mucosa and makes it more vulnerable to allergens. Pollution changes the quality of mucus in the mucosa and makes it prone for insult by extraneous substances. Hence all three are related. One cannot be cured without taking care of the other two.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Did you complete the course of medicines given by the other doctor? What exactly were your complaints when you started consulting? Are those resolved now? The lack of sense of smell, is it a new issue or was it present from before itself? Have you been using the nasal sprays, etc.? Allergy can cause temporary loss of sense of smell due to edema and excessive secretions. Do you have a runny nose and itching and nose block now? The immunoCAP report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) asks you to avoid certain foods and take precautions with others. It has clearly found out the allergens that are causing you the trouble. You should take precautions. I can help you with precautions if you need.
