I'm dealing with a heavy cough and my doctor recommended I get an IgE test. My results showed an IgE level over 3000, but my doctor is on leave until next week. I'm really curious and a bit worriedwhat does an IgE level this high actually mean? Can someone help explain this to me?

Im a breastfeeding mom with a 1-year-old, and it doesn't seem like the regular flu because my temperature is normal. Should I be concerned about anything specific or is there something I can do to manage this better?

I've been dealing with allergies for pretty much my entire life, and they've always caused a runny nose and sneezing. I usually stick to montina l-cetirizine for it, and breathing's never been an issueuntil recently. For the past 34 weeks, I've noticed difficulty in breathing and a cough. I've been taking montina l to help with the breathing issues, but today I also had a runny nose and cough, so I took sinarest too. Now Im a bit worried. Is it okay to take montina l with sinarest at the same time?

Azeflo nasal spray 7ml to both the nostrils is advised to the patient for 5 days.Steam inhalation is also advised to the patient.
