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?

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?

Question

I'm really concerned about my Serum IgE levels. Last year it was at 4073 iuml, and now it's gone up to 4653 iuml. With it being this high, is it still possible for me to donate blood?

Question

How can I taper off this combination tablet of Fexofenadine 120 mg and Montelukast 10 mg? Is it possible for me to cut the tablet into four pieces and take one piece each month, or do I need to buy lower doses of Fexofenadine and Montelukast and gradually decrease the mg each month? Anytime I try stopping for a couple of days without tapering, I end up with itching all over my body, which I've never experienced before. I was prescribed this for cold symptoms I get every morning, though I'm fine by the afternoon. They've run several tests, including X-rays, and I'm just trying to figure out the best way to stop taking these meds.
