I'm dealing with a severe allergy, and it's causing a lot of itching. I took cetirizine, but it's not helping much. What else can I try to relieve this?

I'm dealing with allergies pretty badly because of dust and strong perfume smells. It gets to the point where I'll sneeze non-stop for like 10 to 15 minutes, often more than 15 times. I've been using MONTEMAC FX or MONTEMAC L to help with it and while they do work, the side effects leave me feeling super sleepy and just not myself the next day. I've also found out that I can't take levocetirizine and anything with FX. Can you recommend something else that won't make me feel drowsy?

I'm really concerned about my Serum IgE levels. Last year it was at 4073 iuml, and now it's gone up to 4653 iuml. With it being this high, is it still possible for me to donate blood?

I'm having trouble breathing after a bee sting, and I know I have an allergy to them. Usually, it takes about 12 days for me to get over a bee sting, but this time I can't breathe properly. Should I be worried? What should I do?

immediately go to hospital and consult a physician
