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 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.

I'm trying to understand what it means to have a serum IgE total of 1575.6 KIUL. Is that considered really high? Should I be worried? Also, are there any ways to bring it down naturally, maybe with some home remedies? I'm just really curious and a bit concerned about what this could mean for my health.

I've been dealing with some health issues over the past three months, and I'm getting a bit worried. My Blood Eosinophil count is 828 cellscumm and the Eosinophil is 9. The WBC is at 9300 cellscumm. The urine test showed normal blood sugar, and there are no traces of Eosinophil in it. I'm just trying to understand what's going on and how I can get better. Any advice on what might be causing these issues or what steps I can take to improve my health?

Consume green leafy vegetables and fruits which contain antioxidants and minerals help in eosinophilia related reactions,avoid triggering allergens.
