I'm allergic to different smells like perfumes and soaps, and whenever I'm around them, I start sneezing, get a runny nose, and my eyes get really watery. It's been happening a lot more lately. On some dates, my Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) numbers look like this: February was 1350, March went down to 980, April was 800, August dropped to 705, but then in September, it shot up to 1035. I've been on Hetrazan 100mg tablets during March, April, May, and August, but even with the medication, my AEC went up again in September. Any idea why this is happening or how I can better manage it?

Understanding Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) Fluctuations
- AEC measures eosinophils, a type of white blood cell. Variations can be due to allergies, infections, or medications.
-
Impact of Hetrazan (Diethylcarbamazine) on AEC
- Hetrazan treats parasitic infections, potentially lowering AEC. However, ongoing allergies or other triggers can cause fluctuations.
-
Allergies and Their Role in Elevated AEC
- Allergic reactions to perfumes and soaps can increase eosinophil counts. Environmental exposures may cause symptom flare-ups.
-
Managing Symptoms and Controlling AEC Levels
- Avoid known allergens. Consider antihistamines for symptom relief. Consult an allergist for personalized treatment. Regularly monitor AEC to evaluate treatment effectiveness.
-
When to Seek Further Medical Advice
- If symptoms persist or worsen, re-evaluate your treatment plan. Additional tests may be needed to rule out other causes of eosinophilia.

View allI'm dealing with chronic liver disease, allergic rhinitis, bronchitis, and asthma, and I'm really worried about finding a safe antihistamine for my condition. Do you think options like Levocetirizine, Desloratadine, or Bilastine would be safe for me?
For someone with chronic liver disease, it's important to choose an antihistamine that has minimal impact on the liver. Among the options, **Desloratadine** is generally considered safer as it has fewer liver-related side effects compared to others. However, it's best to consult your doctor before starting any medication to ensure it's appropriate for your condition.

I've noticed that I keep sneezing every morning right after I wake up, and also when I'm cooking. This has been happening for almost two years now. I took cetirizine and tried some ayurvedic medicine, which helped while I was taking them, but the sneezing came back once I stopped. I'm really curious about what could be causing this persistent issue. Do you have any suggestions for getting it under control or maybe even permanently resolving it?
I recommend taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 180mg once daily in the morning to help control your symptoms. Additionally, using a nasal spray like Flonase (Fluticasone) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily can also help reduce nasal inflammation and sneezing. Make sure to continue these medications regularly for best results.

I'm experiencing continuous sneezing and a runny nose, and I think it might be a dust allergy since it started after I cleaned a dusty room. Im a breastfeeding mom with a 1-year-old, and it doesn't seem like the regular flu because my temperature is normal. Should I be concerned about anything specific or is there something I can do to manage this better?
probably it is dust allergy. avoid exposing to dust. take tablet.citrizen
