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've been dealing with wheezing for a while now, about 67 months, and I'm not sure whats going on. I'm a 24-year-old guy and was on Levocet M for two months because my doctor prescribed it. But I just had an IgE test, and my levels are at 486 UImL, which seems really high to me. Is there a way to lower my IgE levels? Is it something I should be worried about?

I've been dealing with this really annoying irritation in my nose every morning for about a year now. It's like I keep sneezing until I eat breakfast. And, if its cold outside, this goes on for a couple of days. I just found out last night from my blood test that I have Eosinophilia. Its got me a bit concerned. How bad does it seem from the report? Also, are there certain foods I should steer clear of? And would you recommend any home remedies that might help?

I'm experiencing continuous sneezing after I masturbate, and I've checked with doctors, but all of them say it's an allergy. I also feel discomfort in my uvula, which I think might be causing the sneezing. I'm really curious about what might be going on. Is there something specific causing this, or any way to prevent it?
