[|Human|] I ve recently become highly allergic to all paint and chemical smells, as well as cigarette smoke. I start feeling sick and have to immediately get away from the smell. If not, I will feel sick the rest of the day. I used to be able to spend hours in a smokey room with no effects . Any thoughts about what has changed in my body? I am a 53 yr old female. Thank you.
[|AI|]  Cellophane You for contacting Chat Doctor. Your body became sensitized to that particular odor so whenever you smell it then it causes allergic symptoms. I would recommend you following things:> Take montelukast one daily for one month. Research has shown that it decreases the allergic response.> If condition remain same then I would also suggest you to undergo allergy testing at allergy clinic. It will tell that you are allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen, and it will improve the problem considerably. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. Wishing you good health.
