I'm kinda puzzled about my situation and could use some advice. I had an IgE level of 200 iUmL and was dealing with this dry cough that kept coming back every 48 to 60 hours. My GP gave me an inhaler, but then I saw an ENT who suggested septiline, some syrup with dextromethorphan hydrobromide and chlorpheniramine maleate, and recharje plus capsules. Thankfully, I'm feeling better now. Thing is, I also have dyshidrosis but no trouble breathing. So, I'm curious why my IgE was high in the first place? Could it be related to these issues or something else entirely?
