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've been dealing with this heavy sinus issue for about 6 months now, and it's driving me crazy. I notice there's not much mucus, but I sneeze a lot, even when I try using steam. Whenever I take Montek LC, it seems to help, but if I skip even one day, my eyes feel really heavy and my nose starts running like crazy. It feels like the air is somehow getting into my nose and causing all this trouble. My doctor suggested I might need to take Montek LC forever or use an inhaler to clear the mucus. I'm really hoping for a more permanent solution. What do you think I should do?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

Why do I start sneezing non-stop and get a runny nose if I brush my teeth late after waking up? It's really frustrating because it affects my whole day. I saw a doctor in Nellore, A.P., and he gave me MontipLC for two months but it didnt help much. He suggested some tests at Apollo Hospital in Chennai. What do you think I should do next or what might be causing this?

I'm dealing with rhinitis and bronchitis allergies, and I've been taking AB Phylline and Montair FX as my doctor advised. They mentioned there's no permanent cure for these conditions. Do you have any other suggestions or advice on managing these allergies?
