I'm dealing with some really bad basal allergies and a persistent cough. I took Leon 500 mg and Lukotas HD at night, but then I just couldn't sleep the whole night and ended up with a terrible headache the next day. Even opening my eyes was painful. How can I avoid these side effects but still tackle the allergies and cough?

You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat and nose infection in this season. You may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days for faster recovery

I'm trying to understand what it means to have a serum IgE total of 1575.6 KIUL. Is that considered really high? Should I be worried? Also, are there any ways to bring it down naturally, maybe with some home remedies? I'm just really curious and a bit concerned about what this could mean for my health.

I've noticed that I keep sneezing every morning right after I wake up, and also when I'm cooking. This has been happening for almost two years now. I took cetirizine and tried some ayurvedic medicine, which helped while I was taking them, but the sneezing came back once I stopped. I'm really curious about what could be causing this persistent issue. Do you have any suggestions for getting it under control or maybe even permanently resolving it?

I recommend taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 180mg once daily in the morning to help control your symptoms. Additionally, using a nasal spray like Flonase (Fluticasone) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily can also help reduce nasal inflammation and sneezing. Make sure to continue these medications regularly for best results.

I'm really worried about my 14-year-old son's allergies. He's been coughing a lot throughout the year, and it seems like any change in the weather makes it worse. Ive noticed sometimes when he sleeps, there's a whistling sound coming from his nose. What could be causing this, and how can I help him feel better?

Thats due to allergy,avoiding the triggering factor is the only treatment for such conditions
