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 dealing with allergic asthma and sinus issues since I was a kid. I usually take anti-allergy meds like Montair LC, Monlevo, and Motex LC. Right now, I've been taking just one Motair LC tablet per day. Could you guide me on the proper treatment or tell me if this medication is enough? Also, do you have any other suggestions or recommendations for managing this condition?

I'm really concerned about my high IGE levelsthey've been around 1750 for the past four years. I've also been dealing with severe itching in my buttocks and thighs and I tried histo glob injections every 12 weeks, but my IGE levels haven't gone down. Do you have any advice or other treatment options that could help with this?

High IGE levels can be associated with various conditions such as allergies, infections, and certain immune disorders. In your case, with a high IGE level of 1750 for the past 4 years and severe itching in the buttocks and thighs, it is important to investigate further to determine the underlying cause. Since the Histo Globinjections have not led to a reduction in IGE levels, I would recommend considering other treatment options. One possible medication that can be considered for reducing IGE levels is Omalizumab (Xolair). The typical dosage for Omalizumab is based on weight and IgE levels, and it is usually administered subcutaneously every 2 to 4 weeks. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss this treatment option further and to determine the most appropriate course of action based on your individual medical history and condition.

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and sinusitis right now, causing me to have a cough, headache, and a runny nose. Should I go ahead and get the COVID vaccine while I'm feeling like this, or is it better to wait until these symptoms clear up? I'm worried that getting the vaccine might make my current situation worse. Can you provide some guidance?

Azeflo nasal spray 7ml to both the nostrils is advised to the patient for 5 days.Steam inhalation is also advised to the patient.
