I'm dealing with chronic liver disease, allergic rhinitis, bronchitis, and asthma, and I'm really worried about finding a safe antihistamine for my condition. Do you think options like Levocetirizine, Desloratadine, or Bilastine would be safe for me?

For someone with chronic liver disease, it's important to choose an antihistamine that has minimal impact on the liver. Among the options, Desloratadine is generally considered safer as it has fewer liver-related side effects compared to others. However, it's best to consult your doctor before starting any medication to ensure it's appropriate for your condition.

How can I taper off this combination tablet of Fexofenadine 120 mg and Montelukast 10 mg? Is it possible for me to cut the tablet into four pieces and take one piece each month, or do I need to buy lower doses of Fexofenadine and Montelukast and gradually decrease the mg each month? Anytime I try stopping for a couple of days without tapering, I end up with itching all over my body, which I've never experienced before. I was prescribed this for cold symptoms I get every morning, though I'm fine by the afternoon. They've run several tests, including X-rays, and I'm just trying to figure out the best way to stop taking these meds.

You can taper by taking the medication every alternate day or by taking fexofenadine 60 mg and montelukast 4 or 5 mg which are available separately

I'm really starting to worry because I've been experiencing breathlessness, especially at night when I lie down, and it's stressing me out. The CBC test showed my WBC count is 9700, and my IgE level is as high as 2700. Plus, I've got an absolute eosinophil count of 500 and an ESR of 31. Alongside all this, I've been having tingling and numbness in my hands and feet. I had an ECG, and it came back normal, which leaves me even more confused. Can you help me figure out what's going on and recommend any medication or treatment that might help?

Random blood sugar,hba1c,post prandial sugars are advised to the patient.
