Can you tell me if it's safe to get the COVID vaccine with a high IgE level due to asthma? My IgE values are at 4000, but I've never had any allergies to previous vaccines or have any food allergies. I'm just a bit concerned.

  1. Asthma and High IgE Levels:

    • Asthma and elevated IgE levels do not inherently contraindicate COVID vaccination.
  2. Previous Allergic Reactions:

    • The absence of allergies to vaccines or foods is reassuring and suggests a lower risk of adverse reactions.
  3. General Recommendations:

    • COVID vaccines are generally safe for individuals with asthma. Monitor for any unusual symptoms post-vaccination.
  4. Consultation:

    • Discuss with your healthcare provider if you have concerns or experience severe asthma symptoms.

I'm really struggling with my allergic rhinitis, and I've had it for years. I got tested with a skin prick test and it turns out I'm allergic to dust mites and histamine. I haven't found any solution that works. Is there a way to actually cure this?

Aman, to help remove the stuck sensation: *Immediate Relief* 1. Drink plenty of warm water or tea to help dislodge any remaining particles. 2. Gargle with salt water (14 teaspoon salt in 8 oz water) several times. *Soothing Measures* 1. Suck on lozenges or cough drops to stimulate saliva production. 2. Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air. 3. Try honey or Throat Coat Tea to calm the throat. *Medical Attention* If the sensation persists or worsens, consult a doctor or ENT specialist to rule out any complications.

I had a sudden allergic reaction after eating some fish a couple of days ago and was prescribed atarax. I was told to take it three times a day for five days, but after just one dose, my allergy was gone. Now, I'm feeling a bit odddrowsy and irritated every time I take it.
