Question

What does it mean if my serum IgE levels are high? I just got my blood test results back, and my IgE levels are at 263.9, but I read that under 100 is normal for adults. Should I be concerned about this, and what could it potentially indicate about my health? Would appreciate any insights on what steps I should take next.

Question

I'm feeling okay during the day, but as soon as it gets cold, I start sneezing, and my nose gets blocked. Then my ears and the back of my throat itch a lot, and it just gets really irritating. Could this be some kind of cold weather allergy? What can I do about it?

Question

I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis for about 20 years now, and I've tried almost every antihistamine and nasal spray available. I recently came across a nasal spray called Azelast or Arzep, which has an antihistamine named azelastine HCl. I'm curious if it's safe to use this spray whenever I need to since it doesn't contain steroids. Can you shed some light on this?

Question

I'm curious about something that's been happening to me. Whenever I'm in the kitchen and accidentally inhale heated red palm oil, I start choking and coughing, but I don't seem to have any issues with cigarette smoke, fumes from burning bushes, or car exhausts. Why does this happen? Should I be worried about a specific allergy or sensitivity to something in the red palm oil?
