I am allergic to many things like dust and strong smell. What is the cough allergy test? Should I also get it done? I am 32 years old working as a HR in an MNC. Is it worth doing this allergy test? Can I get a permanent solution for this cough allergy?

Chronic allergy to dust, smells, or perfumes can trigger cough and sinus issues. Yes, allergy testing is helpful if you want to identify the specific trigger. Skin prick test or IgE based blood allergy panel can be done. It helps in planning long term treatment or allergy shots.

What is the normal value of IgE level. My report shows 291 and I have chronic urticaria. Am I allergic. Does antihistamine reduce IgE level?
