Question

My mom has been dealing with this chronic dry cough, and she's constantly clearing her throat. She's not experiencing any wheezing or breathing issues. It lasts for about 12 weeks before it disappears, but the cough isn't frequent and usually vanishes for 2 weeks and then doesn't show up for another 12 months. I'm getting worried and wondering if it could be something serious or possibly related to allergies?

Question

I'm really concerned about this sneezing issue I've been dealing with for the last 34 months. It's not an everyday thing, but when it hits, I can sneeze anywhere between 50 to 70 times in a day. It also causes a runny nose, and my eyes get affected as well. Could you offer some guidance on what might be causing this and what I can do about it?

Question

I've been dealing with wheezing for a while now, about 67 months, and I'm not sure whats going on. I'm a 24-year-old guy and was on Levocet M for two months because my doctor prescribed it. But I just had an IgE test, and my levels are at 486 UImL, which seems really high to me. Is there a way to lower my IgE levels? Is it something I should be worried about?

Question

I've been dealing with this allergic problem for the past couple of years, and it's been pretty frustrating. I take medication, and it seems to go away for a while, but then it's back. Recently, my doctor suggested I try acebrophylline. I'm a bit unsure about it. Should I go ahead with it, or maybe get a second opinion from another doctor?
