I'm really concerned about my high IGE levelsthey've been around 1750 for the past four years. I've also been dealing with severe itching in my buttocks and thighs and I tried histo glob injections every 12 weeks, but my IGE levels haven't gone down. Do you have any advice or other treatment options that could help with this?

High IGE levels can be associated with various conditions such as allergies, infections, and certain immune disorders. In your case, with a high IGE level of 1750 for the past 4 years and severe itching in the buttocks and thighs, it is important to investigate further to determine the underlying cause. Since the Histo Globinjections have not led to a reduction in IGE levels, I would recommend considering other treatment options. One possible medication that can be considered for reducing IGE levels is Omalizumab (Xolair). The typical dosage for Omalizumab is based on weight and IgE levels, and it is usually administered subcutaneously every 2 to 4 weeks. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss this treatment option further and to determine the most appropriate course of action based on your individual medical history and condition.

I'm a software engineer and I work in an air-conditioned office. I've been sneezing at least 23 times a day lately, and it's always in bursts of 12 sneezes. This is all pretty new to me, and I'm guessing it might have started since I joined the IT industry. What could be causing this sudden change, and how can I find some relief?

It sounds like your sneezing could be related to allergies triggered by indoor air quality, such as dust, air conditioning, or dry air commonly found in office environments. Using a humidifier, ensuring regular cleaning of the office, and considering antihistamines might help reduce the sneezing. If it persists, a consultation with an allergist could be beneficial.

I've been dealing with allergies for pretty much my entire life, and they've always caused a runny nose and sneezing. I usually stick to montina l-cetirizine for it, and breathing's never been an issueuntil recently. For the past 34 weeks, I've noticed difficulty in breathing and a cough. I've been taking montina l to help with the breathing issues, but today I also had a runny nose and cough, so I took sinarest too. Now Im a bit worried. Is it okay to take montina l with sinarest at the same time?

Azeflo nasal spray 7ml to both the nostrils is advised to the patient for 5 days.Steam inhalation is also advised to the patient.
