Question

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.

Question

I'm having this issue where every time I sleep, whether it's at night or even a nap during the day, I wake up with a runny nose for about an hour and end up sneezing occasionally. I've tried taking a lot of different medicines but nothing's really worked. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?

Question

I'm looking at my latest test results and I'm a bit worried. My eosinophil count came back as 10 and my ESR is at 51. The absolute eosinophil count is 700 and my serum IgE level is 954.1. I'm really not sure what all of this means or where the issue might be. Could you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take next?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been smoking weed daily for the past 3 years, and now I've developed some kind of skin allergy. The doctors ran a blood test, and the results showed my serum IgE level was at 6000, which sounds really bad. I've stopped smoking, but I'm nervous about what to do next, and I don't want my parents to find out about all this. How can I lower my serum IgE levels, and do you have any advice on passing allergy tests?
