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.

View allI've noticed my eosinophil levels are higher than normal and I experienced some allergies recently. The symptoms have lessened, but I'm still dealing with an itchy sensation. How can I bring my eosinophil counts back to a normal range?
To reduce the eosinophil count and alleviate the itchy sensation, you can take over-the-counter antihistamines like Cetirizine (10mg once daily) or Loratadine (10mg once daily). Additionally, you can use a corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% to relieve itching. Make sure to avoid allergens that trigger your allergies and maintain good hygiene to prevent further allergic reactions. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with this annoying throat irritation followed by a dry cough that's been bothering me since last year. It seems to get better for a while, but then it just comes back. My local doctor mentioned it might be an allergy. I've been taking levocetirizine 5 mg and montelukast 10 mg, along with using a mometasone nasal spray for the past 5 days, but I'm not seeing any relief. It's quite frustrating. I also did some tests and my CRP came back negative, but my immunoglobulin serum IgE level is pretty high at 250. Could you guide me on what to do next? Is there something else I should be trying?
It seems like you are experiencing allergic symptoms in your throat and cough. Since you have already been taking Levocetirizine 5mg + Montelukast 10mg and Mometasone nasal spray with no relief, I would recommend adding a mucolytic and a cough suppressant to your treatment regimen. You can try taking Ambroxol 30mg twice daily for mucus clearance and Dextromethorphan 10mg for cough suppression as needed. Additionally, since your Immunoglobulin serum IgE level is high, you may benefit from adding a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone propionate for better control of your symptoms. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

My mom is 55 and has allergies to penicillin and doxycycline. She also has diabetes and high blood pressure and had bypass surgery 10 years ago. Can she safely take the covid vaccines covishield or covaxin? Do these vaccines have any side effects for someone with her allergies and medical history?
For your mom, both Covishield and Covaxin are generally safe, even with her medical conditions. However, it’s crucial to consult her doctor due to her diabetes, hypertension, and allergies, as they may affect vaccine response.
