Every morning when I wake up, I can't stop sneezing. It's like a nonstop sneeze-fest. On top of that, I've noticed that my dark circles under my eyes are getting worse each day. I'm curious if there's any connection between these two things. What's causing this?

The sneezing could be due to allergic rhinitis, and the dark circles could be a result of nasal congestion causing poor sleep quality. For the sneezing, you can try taking an antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) once daily in the morning to help with allergies. To address the dark circles, you can try using an over-the-counter decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help with nasal congestion and improve sleep quality. Make sure to also maintain good sleep hygiene and consider using a humidifier in your bedroom to help with any nasal congestion.

I'm allergic to eggs and it's really frustrating. Every time I have something with eggs, like stuff from the Pasty Cake Bakery, I get this awful abdominal pain that just won't go away, even after taking medicine. Some people think I'm just imagining it, but I'm pretty sure it's real. What's weird is that sometimes I get the same pain after having cheese or paneer dishes at certain restaurants. I havent eaten eggs in the last 25 years, but now I'm thinking about trying them again. What do you suggest? Are there specific foods I should stay away from? And is there any chance this allergy could be cured?

If you have a confirmed egg allergy, it's safer to continue avoiding eggs and egg-based products, even if you haven't eaten them for a long time. If you feel the urge to try eggs again, its best to consult an allergist first. They may advise you on how to approach it, and you may even undergo treatment like oral immunotherapy in some cases, but that requires professional supervision.

I'm dealing with really high Immunoglobulin IGE and I've been getting this annoying skin rash and itching. My skin doctor prescribed levocetirizine to calm the itching down, but after taking it for two months, nothing's changed. Do you think I'm seeing the right type of doctor for this, or should I check in with another specialist since it might be related to my blood?

It seems like the skin doctor's approach of prescribing levocetirizine to suppress the itching caused by high Immunoglobulin E levels has not been effective in your case. Since elevated IgE levels are related to the immune system and can contribute to skin issues like rash and itching, it might be beneficial to consult with an Allergist or Immunologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend specific medications such as Montelukast along with antihistamines like Fexofenadine to address the underlying cause of the elevated IgE levels and provide relief from the symptoms.
