I'm dealing with this annoying throat irritation followed by a dry cough that's been bothering me since last year. It seems to get better for a while, but then it just comes back. My local doctor mentioned it might be an allergy. I've been taking levocetirizine 5 mg and montelukast 10 mg, along with using a mometasone nasal spray for the past 5 days, but I'm not seeing any relief. It's quite frustrating. I also did some tests and my CRP came back negative, but my immunoglobulin serum IgE level is pretty high at 250. Could you guide me on what to do next? Is there something else I should be trying?

It seems like you are experiencing allergic symptoms in your throat and cough. Since you have already been taking Levocetirizine 5mg + Montelukast 10mg and Mometasone nasal spray with no relief, I would recommend adding a mucolytic and a cough suppressant to your treatment regimen. You can try taking Ambroxol 30mg twice daily for mucus clearance and Dextromethorphan 10mg for cough suppression as needed. Additionally, since your Immunoglobulin serum IgE level is high, you may benefit from adding a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone propionate for better control of your symptoms. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allIm a bit concerned because every time I masturbate, I start experiencing continuous sneezing. I know I'm allergic to dust mites, but it seems unusual for this to happen only then. Could it be possible that masturbation is somehow triggering my allergic rhinitis?
There is no direct link between masturbation and allergic rhinitis triggered by dust mites. It is more likely that the act of masturbation is not directly causing your symptoms. It is possible that there may be other factors at play, such as the environment in which you are masturbating or other triggers that coincide with the activity. To help manage your symptoms, you can try using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine at a dose of 10mg once daily. Additionally, using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Fluticasone can help reduce nasal inflammation and sneezing. Make sure to also minimize exposure to dust mites in your environment by regularly cleaning and dusting your living space

My cholesterol is under control since I had extra pulmonary TB in the heart area. I just need to know what could be causing thisis it some kind of reaction or allergy?
