hello doc. i am 10 weeks pregnant now and i had a severe nose congestion since a week i concieved and it gets worse at night. i also suffer from allergies which when i scratch it swell up. can u kindly tell me if these are normal and what are the solution.
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor It is likely that you have allergic rhinitis. This is allergies involving the nasal passages, and it would cause the congestion. Allergic rhinitis or sinusitis can exist with other types of allergies such as the skin condition you are describing. Hives that develop when the skin is scratched may indicate a type of chronic urticaria. You can use topical nasal sprays to help with the nasal congestion. A dermatologist may be able to help with the skin reaction. I hope this helps
