Allergy or something else? Prepare the right questions
Sneezing or itching can have several explanations; a symptom list is not a diagnosis.
Three practical points
- Describe what happens, how quickly it starts and how long it lasts.
- Tell the pharmacist or clinician about asthma, medicines and previous reactions.
- Ask whether a trial of self-care is appropriate or whether you need assessment.
In the Philippines, contact your usual health center, pharmacist or appropriate clinician for individual advice. Service availability and fees vary; ask the provider directly.
