Am I allergic to LFDs??

[oopsinamechangedagain2021]

We have covid in the house, so I've been doing an LFD every day, and each time I do one I sneeze and have a runny nose afterwards. The runny nose seems to be lasting longer each time. Today, I was so fed up (trying to make dinner) I took an antihistamine and it stopped 20 minutes later.

Does this happen to anyone else?

I might try taking the antihistamine tablet 20 mins before I do the LFD tomorrow to see what happens!

My son has the same.. it is awful! His produces an extreme amount of egg white mucus and sneezes afterwards. He also has red eyes, a very itchy nose, looks grey and exhausted afterwards. I thought it was hay fever but when I made the connection and adjusted what I was doing to alleviate the symptoms, it stopped within minutes. Preventative remedy before LFT helped and I got some saliva tests at a pharmacy in Ireland but I haven't seen these in the UK.
