cystic fibrosis "relationship" to allergic rhinitis
Cystic fibrosis can be associated with allergic rhinitis due to the chronic inflammation and mucus production in the airways, which may increase susceptibility to allergies. Individuals with cystic fibrosis often experience respiratory issues that can overlap with symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
Common symptoms of adult onset Cystic Fibrosis that I have include: allergic rhinitis, night sweats
I have chronic allergic rhinitis.
20 years ago, I received the Allergic rhinitis skin test and subsequently received allegery shots for 3 years.
3 years ago, I received the Allergic rhinitis skin test again and I have received allegery shots for the past 3 years.
I still experience post nasal drip intermittently, I cough up phlegm and have intermittent night sweats.
Some nights when laying down to sleep at night, I experience coughing up multiple sticky balls of saliva.
Do a lot of those diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis have allergic rhinitis and receive allegery shots?
Thank you
No cystic fibrosis but bronchiectasis with chronic sinusitis, allergic rhinitis. I’m on my second round of allergy immunotherapy shots. A daily 24 hour allergy pill has made a significant difference in decreasing both mucus and coughing jags. wish I discovered it sooner.
