Question

I've been dealing with allergy symptoms like airway inflammation, itchy nose, and itchy throat for a while now. In the past, I used to have really bad wheezing, but since I started doing breathing exercises, I haven't had any asthma attacks. However, I still feel like I frequently have some kind of allergies. My symptoms include sinus inflammation, ear pain, throat pain, and irritation in my nose and throat. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to see a pulmonologist for longer-term treatment. Can a pulmonologist help with all kinds of allergies, like food allergies, or should I look elsewhere for that kind of help?

Question

I'm dealing with a dust allergy and have been using this nasal spray called flublock. I'm wondering if I can switch to using Naselin nasal spray instead. Do they work the same way, and is one of them gentler on the nose than the other?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about my high IgE level, which is around 900 right now. I heard it might be connected to some sort of food allergy. Can you explain what an overreactive immune system means in this context and how food becomes an allergen leading to histamine release? Is there something specific I should be doing or avoiding?

Question

I'm dealing with this annoying throat irritation followed by a dry cough that's been bothering me since last year. It seems to get better for a while, but then it just comes back. My local doctor mentioned it might be an allergy. I've been taking levocetirizine 5 mg and montelukast 10 mg, along with using a mometasone nasal spray for the past 5 days, but I'm not seeing any relief. It's quite frustrating. I also did some tests and my CRP came back negative, but my immunoglobulin serum IgE level is pretty high at 250. Could you guide me on what to do next? Is there something else I should be trying?
