I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She started having breathing problems and a heavy chest about 34 months ago, and even though she took medication for eosinophilia, she didnt get much relief. The eosinophil count seems under control now, but her IgE levels are still really high. The doctor had her on a nasal spray and some other meds for 20 days, then switched them up a bit. Still, the high IgE level worries me. We've just gotten her PFT and RAST tests done. Im curious about what else we should be looking into or considering for her treatment. Could this be part of something more serious, and is there anything else we should ask the doctor to test for?

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and it's really affecting my sleep. I feel breathless and in the mornings, I'm either sneezing nonstop or constantly coughing. I'm trying to figure out if it's better to take a monticope tablet at night or use an esiflo 125 inhaler with two puffs before bed. What do you think would be more effective for long-term relief?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .

I'm having trouble breathing after a bee sting, and I know I have an allergy to them. Usually, it takes about 12 days for me to get over a bee sting, but this time I can't breathe properly. Should I be worried? What should I do?

immediately go to hospital and consult a physician
