Question

My friend has this issue where every time she smells something, she starts coughing and it's like her nose gets blocked or something. She's been using a Duolin inhaler and some cough medicine, but it only seems to help temporarily. We're kind of worried and wondering if there's an actual treatment to get rid of this problem for good. Any advice on what might be going on or what we should do?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been smoking weed daily for the past 3 years, and now I've developed some kind of skin allergy. The doctors ran a blood test, and the results showed my serum IgE level was at 6000, which sounds really bad. I've stopped smoking, but I'm nervous about what to do next, and I don't want my parents to find out about all this. How can I lower my serum IgE levels, and do you have any advice on passing allergy tests?
