I'm dealing with allergies to brinjal and tamarind, and it's getting pretty frustrating. Every time I eat them, I end up with rashes and itching. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to prevent these reactions?

I'm dealing with allergies pretty badly because of dust and strong perfume smells. It gets to the point where I'll sneeze non-stop for like 10 to 15 minutes, often more than 15 times. I've been using MONTEMAC FX or MONTEMAC L to help with it and while they do work, the side effects leave me feeling super sleepy and just not myself the next day. I've also found out that I can't take levocetirizine and anything with FX. Can you recommend something else that won't make me feel drowsy?

I'm really struggling with a heavy cough, and I'm dealing with allergy symptoms and general weakness too. On top of that, I have swelling in my joints and itchy palms. It's been so bad that I've had to take a Levocetirizine capsule every day to manage it. Without it, I just can't handle the cough at all. Is there anything else I can do or try to make this better?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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?
