I'm dealing with a constant runny nose and an annoying allergic cough. Its really wearing me down. My doctor prescribed me a tablet called alcipro 500 mg, but I'm a bit worried. What exactly is this for, and how does it help with these symptoms?

I'm really worried about my IgE levels; they're at 1074 kUAL. My fingers get swollen in winter, and I'm starting to think I might have an allergy to cold temperatures. I've been taking Allegra 180 for two weeks, but my IgE levels haven't changed. With the COVID vaccine, I'm concerned about having a severe reaction. Do you think it's safe for me to get vaccinated?

I'm on levocetirizine at night, and it's making me feel drowsy and weak throughout the day. Is this a normal side effect I should be worried about? My doctor prescribed it, but I'm curious if this is typical.
