Question

I'm dealing with allergies to brinjal and tamarind, and it's getting pretty frustrating. Every time I eat them, I end up with rashes and itching. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to prevent these reactions?

Question

I've been using mometasone nasal spray, but I think I didn't use it correctly because now I'm experiencing some side effects. I'm getting rash, itching, and swelling on my face and around my throat, nose, and even my tongue. My upper teeth are feeling weird too. Plus, I'm feeling dizzy and have a headache. What do you think might be going on, and what should I do?

Question

I'm feeling okay during the day, but as soon as it gets cold, I start sneezing, and my nose gets blocked. Then my ears and the back of my throat itch a lot, and it just gets really irritating. Could this be some kind of cold weather allergy? What can I do about it?

Question

I was recently diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and got some concerning lab results. My WBC count is 13,000 and my serum IgE levels shot up to 3,500, which I know is way above the normal range of 0-100. Plus, my absolute eosinophil count is at 1,040, and I've read online that such high IgE levels could indicate cancer or some other serious disease. Is this something I should be worried about? And is it possible to bring my IgE level down to normal with medication? How long would that typically take?
