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?

I'm really worried because my IgE levels are at 850. Is this something I should be concerned about? Are there natural ways to bring it down? Would love some guidance on this.

Question

I've been having a rough time in the mornings. As soon as I wake up, I start sneezing non-stop. It's really uncomfortable because my eyes get watery, and my nose starts running. Plus, after sneezing, I always end up with a headache. Could this be allergies or something more serious? What should I do to feel better?

Question

So I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis but it mainly hits me at night and early in the morning. My doctor told me to take AllegraM once a night for a week, but I'm having trouble finding Allegra Nasal Spray. Is it alright if I use Nasivion Nasal Spray instead, like a couple of puffs every day? I'm 15, by the way. Just wondering if this is safe or if there's a better option out there. What should I do?
