[|Human|] I was just diagnosed with being allergic to cat and dogs.  We had a cat in our house the past 3 years.  We found a new cat for our home so we got rid of the problem.  Im taking Allegra and steriod nasal spray but still experiencing congestion. I did have a CT scan and it show that my inferior turbinates are enlarged.  Is this due to being allergic to our cat?  Will my inferior turbinates get back to normal in a few weeks or months once the dander is out of our home?  If yes, how long will it take?
[|AI|]  Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor, Swollen turbinates with sneezing, watering eyes with runny nose could be due to rhinitis (allergic or infective) or acute sinusitis. Here, it can be mostly due to either allergy or viral infection because of our low immunity or allergic to certain substances like dust, pollens or grass. You should take symptomatic treatment,1) Take antibiotics (quinolones like ofloxacin or accolades like azithromycin) to prevent super-infection.2) Take antiallergic Chat Doctor. 3)Take decongestants like phenylephrine if you have congestive symptoms in turbinates, nose and throat.4) Steroid nasal spray like rhinoceros, flonase or became.5) Nebulization twice daily with saline or take steam inhalation 2 to 3 times a day. The best way to cure allergy is to avoid contact with the allergen, so you can make out which particular substance from these cats or dogs is causing it and try to avoid contact it. If still problem persists then you should consult ENT specialist who can recommend you certain blood tests with ESR and X-ray of face to make a diagnosis clear. Hope this information will help you. If still any query then you can ask me.
