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

  1. Describe what happens, how quickly it starts and how long it lasts.
  2. Tell the pharmacist or clinician about asthma, medicines and previous reactions.
  3. 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.
