I'm a bit anxious after getting my IgE test done, and I'm really hoping to understand if the results are within the normal range. Could you let me know if everything looks okay? Also, if there are any medications I should be considering, I'd really appreciate your guidance.

IgE tests measure the levels of immunoglobulin E in your blood, which is often elevated in allergic conditions. Normal IgE levels can vary depending on the laboratory, but generally, levels below 100 IUmL are considered normal. If your IgE levels are elevated, it may indicate an allergic condition. If your IgE levels are high and you are experiencing symptoms of allergies, your doctor may prescribe antihistamines such as Cetirizine (10mg once daily) or Loratadine (10mg once daily) to help manage your symptoms. It's important to follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment.

I'm feeling okay during the day, but as soon as it gets cold, I start sneezing, and my nose gets blocked. Then my ears and the back of my throat itch a lot, and it just gets really irritating. Could this be some kind of cold weather allergy? What can I do about it?

Thats due to allergy,avoiding the triggering factor is the only treatment for such conditions

I'm a bit worried because I took Norflox TZ on an empty stomach this morning, and about an hour later, I noticed that my lower lip started to swell slightly. I remembered a similar thing happened last year when I took Levofloxacin. I quickly took Allegra and stopped the Norflox TZ. Do you think I might be allergic to it?

The recurrence of lip swelling after taking Norflox TZ, similar to your previous reaction to Levofloxacin, suggests a possible allergy or hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolone antibiotics; it's essential to consult your doctor or an allergist to discuss the reactions and determine the best course of action for future antibiotic treatments, as they may recommend alternative antibiotics or allergy testing.
