I'm feeling okay during the day, but as soon as it gets cold, I start sneezing, and my nose gets blocked. Then my ears and the back of my throat itch a lot, and it just gets really irritating. Could this be some kind of cold weather allergy? What can I do about it?

View allI have a pretty bad dust allergy, and I've been feeling feverish with a headache because of it. My doctor prescribed me Levozet tablets, but I'm worried about the drowsiness they cause. I'm still in school and cant afford to be sleepy during classes. Is it safe for me to keep taking these? What can I do about the drowsiness?
To reduce the effects of dust allergies, you can try these steps: Clean regularly Use a damp cloth or mop to clean floors, and vacuum regularly. You can also use an electrostatic cloth or brush for hard-to-reach areas. Wash bedding Wash all bedding weekly in hot water that's at least 130F (54.4C) to kill dust mites. You can also put bedding in the dryer for at least 15 minutes at a high heat setting. Use allergen-resistant covers Use zippered covers on your mattress, pillows, and box springs. Keep humidity low Use a dehumidifier or air conditioner to keep the humidity level in your home below 55%. Reduce dust traps Remove soft furniture and curtains, and avoid heavy drapes. Use a HEPA filter Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter, or install a high-efficiency media filter in your furnace and air conditioning unit. Use a dust mite spray Spray dust mite covers with a product containing acaricides to reduce symptoms. See an allergist If your symptoms are worse at home, especially when cleaning or going to bed, you can see an allergist for diagnosis and treatment.

Is regular steam inhalation with turmeric a good way to manage allergies, or should I be looking at other methods? I'd appreciate any advice on how to avoid allergies without relying on medications.
Regular steam inhalation with turmeric can be beneficial for allergies as turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract. The steam helps to open up the airways and relieve congestion, while turmeric can help to alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. However, it is important to note that while steam inhalation with turmeric can provide some relief, it may not be a comprehensive solution for severe allergies. In addition to steam inhalation with turmeric, there are other natural ways to help manage allergies without medication. Some tips include keeping windows closed to prevent pollen from entering the house, using air purifiers to filter out allergens, regularly cleaning and dusting the house to reduce dust mites, avoiding outdoor activities during high pollen count days, and washing bedding frequently in hot water to remove allergens. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, staying hydrated, and getting regular exercise can help support overall immune health and reduce allergy symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as severe allergies may require medication or other interventions.

I'm really worried about my 7-year-old son's health. His IgE level is incredibly high, around 3800. What could be causing this? Also, he's been having skin blisters that sometimes have pus or fluid in them, and this has been going on and off since he was about one and a half years old. How can I control or manage these issues?
