I'm dealing with some really irritating throat stuff like a bad dry cough that just won't stop. It's so bad I can't even talk properly. I don't have a cold, just this annoying cough. I know I'm allergic to apples and citrus fruits, but I haven't had those in a long time. I'm starting to think maybe it's the smoke from the mosquito coils I've been using. Could they be causing this cough? I haven't tried any medicine yet, and I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice?

Exposure to mosquito coil smoke could be exacerbating your existing allergy symptoms. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine to help with the allergic reaction. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge or syrup containing Diphenhydramine (brand name Benadryl) for soothing the throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid further exposure to mosquito coil smoke. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

View allI'm having a tough time with my breathing because of something that's leaching into my throat, nose, and eyes, but especially my throat. It's causing me to cough really badly, sometimes to the point where I vomit. I even have a weird voice when I breathe. I've seen a few doctors, and they say it's allergies, but they haven't done any tests or analyses. The meds help a bit, but once I stop, the same problem comes back, or even gets worse. They've given me Motemac FX tablets, Furamist nasal spray, and some syrup, but nothing seems to be fixing the root cause. I'm confused about which doctor I should see to finally get to the bottom of this. Should I be asking for specific tests or analyses to find out exactly what's wrong with me? Any advice here?
Patient is advised Ige test,X-ray paranasal sinus ,esr and C-reactive protein tests.Also Azeflo nasal spray 7ml in both the nostrils is advised to the patient.

I'm a bit concerned about my high IgE level, which is around 900 right now. I heard it might be connected to some sort of food allergy. Can you explain what an overreactive immune system means in this context and how food becomes an allergen leading to histamine release? Is there something specific I should be doing or avoiding?
no

I'm a bit anxious after getting my IgE test done, and I'm really hoping to understand if the results are within the normal range. Could you let me know if everything looks okay? Also, if there are any medications I should be considering, I'd really appreciate your guidance.
IgE tests measure the levels of immunoglobulin E in your blood, which is often elevated in allergic conditions. Normal IgE levels can vary depending on the laboratory, but generally, levels below 100 IUmL are considered normal. If your IgE levels are elevated, it may indicate an allergic condition. If your IgE levels are high and you are experiencing symptoms of allergies, your doctor may prescribe antihistamines such as Cetirizine (10mg once daily) or Loratadine (10mg once daily) to help manage your symptoms. It's important to follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment.
