My dad experiences a severe headache along with sinus pressure, and nausea at least once a week after exposure to dust. He owns and manages a retail store so exposure to dust is inevitable. It is so bad that he spends the entire day in bed, sometimes the next day too. He's been to a specialist and had tests done, but they could not find anything wrong with him. He has also been to an allergy doctor who comfirmed that he has a dust allergy. Upon the doctor's reccomendation, he had allergy shots for eighteen months, changed the bedding to hypoallergenic bedding, and a whole bunch of other things, but there still isn't any improvement. He used to take Benadryl Sinus or Claratin, or Tylenol and it helped, but now they make him very nauseus.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong with him? Or what medication he could take? Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

1Basically, your dad is allergic. But you know that. There is a type of treatment right now. It's when you take concentrations of what your allergic to in your blood. first they'll give green level, or such low levels that your brain barely detects it, then you get to yellow, then red level, every time you get a shot, (once a week) you'll get a bigger concentration until red level, and allergies should be much clearer.

2I can only give you the obvious answer hun, I apologise if it does not help, but as long as he works in the dust, he will suffer it.

3I would suggest having the office test for mold. If there is mold in the walls, the spores are being released into the air ducts and creating an envionment where your father is being exposed to those spores.

4This is hay fever season which makes it worse. Close the windows and no pets helps.
