I'm dealing with this dry cough that's been sticking around for about a month now, and I'm starting to wonder if it could be due to allergies. What should I do to feel better?

View allI'm really struggling with this persistent urticaria issue I've had for a few years. I'm allergic to foods like spices, brinjal, Rajma, Urad dal, guava, oats, curd, namkeen, and too much sugar or jaggery. I've seen all the local doctors, but the problem comes back once I stop their treatments. My AEC test showed a count of 1000 when it should be under 250. I've taken a lot of antihistamines, but they mess up my digestion. Within minutes, I get weird patterns on my skin that vanish after 15-20 minutes. Can you please help me understand what's happening or suggest what I should do next?
Considering your persistent urticaria, multiple food allergies, and elevated Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) of 1000, consult an allergist or immunologist for comprehensive guidance; they may recommend immunotherapy, mast cell stabilizers, or biologics like omalizumab, in addition to strict avoidance of trigger foods and implementation of a low-histamine diet; also, consider gut-friendly antihistamines like levocetirizine or fexofenadine to minimize digestive side effects.

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and my doctor switched me to Allegra 180 instead of Montair LC. I've been taking Allegra 180 but it's not really helping much. Could I go back to taking Montair LC since it worked well for me before?
Yes You can use any of them but montek lc causes more sedation over allegra.

I've got a really high Ige level, it's around 1561, and I'm experiencing itching all over my body. I've been taking leemav every other day and had ebast for a month. Im attaching my blood report can you tell me what steps I should take next?
Based on your symptoms and high IgE levels, it seems like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction. I recommend you start taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 180mg once daily to help with the itching. Additionally, you can add Zyrtec (Cetirizine) 10mg once daily for better control of your symptoms. Make sure to continue with your current medication and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
