I'm a bit concerned about my high IgE level, which is around 900 right now. I heard it might be connected to some sort of food allergy. Can you explain what an overreactive immune system means in this context and how food becomes an allergen leading to histamine release? Is there something specific I should be doing or avoiding?

I'm curious about what's going on with my health. I've been experiencing watery eyes, a runny and stuffed nose, body aches, an itchy throat and nose, and headaches that all come on suddenly. I usually take cetirizine, and it seems to clear up these symptoms within a day. But the problem is they keep coming back every couple of weeks or even sooner. Plus, I end up sneezing like 60 to 70 times in a day, which is just exhausting. And these really intense headaches are happening every other day too. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

I recently had an asthma attack and now I'm on antibiotics, anti-allergic meds, and using pumps and nasal sprays. They diagnosed me with very high IgE levels. Is this something serious? Can it be treated?

I'm really struggling with my allergic rhinitis, and I've had it for years. I got tested with a skin prick test and it turns out I'm allergic to dust mites and histamine. I haven't found any solution that works. Is there a way to actually cure this?

Aman, to help remove the stuck sensation: *Immediate Relief* 1. Drink plenty of warm water or tea to help dislodge any remaining particles. 2. Gargle with salt water (14 teaspoon salt in 8 oz water) several times. *Soothing Measures* 1. Suck on lozenges or cough drops to stimulate saliva production. 2. Use a humidifier to add moisture to the air. 3. Try honey or Throat Coat Tea to calm the throat. *Medical Attention* If the sensation persists or worsens, consult a doctor or ENT specialist to rule out any complications.
