I'm dealing with chronic urticaria and have tried different antihistamines like Cetirizine, Fexofenadine, Desloratadine, and Levocetirizine, but they all cause me severe heartburn and acid reflux. I noticed that when I take Monlevo, which combines Montelukast Sodium and Levocetirizine Hydrochloride, I don't experience these side effects. Why do you think that is? Is there something about this combination that prevents the usual issues? What should I consider or discuss with my doctor about this?

View allI've just done a COVID antibody IgG ELISA test and got a result of 0.95. I'm not sure if that's normal or not since I've never had any symptoms in the past. Does this mean I was infected with COVID at some point? Also, should I consider getting my family tested too?
igg is the antibody produced by your body for the covid organisms. get your family members tested if they are affecting with any symptoms

My husband has been dealing with an allergy for the past 4 years. He went for an allergy test, and it showed he's allergic to parthenium hysterophorus and artemisia vulgaris. What do these allergies mean, and how do they occur? Is there any treatment available? We're really hoping for some guidance here.
Parthenium hysterophorus (Congress grass) and Artemisia vulgaris (Mugwort) are common allergenic plants; the allergy occurs when your husband's immune system overreacts to proteins in these plants' pollen, leading to symptoms like rhinitis, itching, and respiratory issues; treatment options include avoidance of exposure, antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, immunotherapy (allergy shots), and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), so consult an allergist or immunologist to determine the best course of treatment.

I'm wondering if taking L Montus FX and Medral 4mg for a long time to manage my dust allergy is actually safe. Are there any serious side effects I should be worried about if I continue using them? It's been a while, and I'm a bit concerned about the long-term effects on my health. Can you advise if it's okay or if I should consider any alternatives?
_Hypothyroidism Management: Next Steps_ Your TSH level of 14.33 indicates hypothyroidism. Consult an endocrinologist or a primary care physician for proper management. _Initial Steps:_ 1. *Thyroid hormone replacement therapy*: Your doctor will likely prescribe synthetic thyroid hormones (e.g., levothyroxine) to replace the deficient hormones. 2. *Initial dosage*: A typical starting dose is 25-50 mcg of levothyroxine, which may be adjusted based on your response. 3. *Regular TSH monitoring*: Schedule follow-up appointments every 6-8 weeks to monitor your TSH levels and adjust the dosage as needed. _Lifestyle Modifications:_ 1. *Dietary changes*: Ensure adequate iodine intake through foods like seafood, dairy, or iodized salt. 2. *Selenium-rich foods*: Include selenium-rich foods like Brazil nuts, fish, or turkey in your diet. 3. *Regular exercise*: Engage in moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, to help manage hypothyroidism. By working closely with your healthcare provider and making lifestyle modifications, you can effectively manage your hypothyroidism and achieve a normal TSH level.
