Every rainy season, I seem to always get hay fever. It's like clockwork! Do you think I should get a blood test to figure out why this keeps happening?

Testing Options: Consider an allergy panel blood test or a skin prick test to identify specific allergens.
Treatment: If symptoms are manageable with over-the-counter medications, testing may not be urgent but can aid in long-term management.

I'm trying to understand my Allergy Screening Test results by IMMUNO EIA. It says my IgE level is 172 KUL, NIMESULIDE is 1.30 UL, and CEPHALOSPORIN is 1.20 UL. Can you explain what these numbers mean for my health? Also, what steps should I take to address this?

Elevated IgE levels suggest that you are sensitive or allergic to certain substances, but more specific testing (e.g., food allergy tests or skin prick tests) may be needed to pinpoint the exact cause. Nimesulide and Cephalosporins: You appear to have allergies to these substances, so avoid them in the future. Consult an allergist: A specialist can help create a detailed management plan, especially if you have ongoing symptoms or need to manage multiple allergies

I'm having this issue where I keep sneezing every morning and it's been happening for months. I saw a doctor before and got some medications, but nothing's changed. It's been around six months now and I'm still stuck with this cold and sneezing problem. Could you suggest anything to help? I'm really tired of it and not sure what else to do.

Morning sneezing is mainly associated with allergic rhinitis.. avoid dusts and pollution.. regular change of pillow covers and bedsheets.. visit an ENT specialist for proper assessment..
