I'm having a hard time dealing with constant sneezing every time I walk into a place that's even a little chilly. My nose feels blocked despite not having a runny nose, and I know I have allergic rhinitis. I'm currently on Foracort, but it doesn't seem to be helping much with these symptoms. Could there be something else going on, or is there something different I should be trying?

How can I taper off this combination tablet of Fexofenadine 120 mg and Montelukast 10 mg? Is it possible for me to cut the tablet into four pieces and take one piece each month, or do I need to buy lower doses of Fexofenadine and Montelukast and gradually decrease the mg each month? Anytime I try stopping for a couple of days without tapering, I end up with itching all over my body, which I've never experienced before. I was prescribed this for cold symptoms I get every morning, though I'm fine by the afternoon. They've run several tests, including X-rays, and I'm just trying to figure out the best way to stop taking these meds.

You can taper by taking the medication every alternate day or by taking fexofenadine 60 mg and montelukast 4 or 5 mg which are available separately

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
