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?

My mom is 55 and has allergies to penicillin and doxycycline. She also has diabetes and high blood pressure and had bypass surgery 10 years ago. Can she safely take the covid vaccines covishield or covaxin? Do these vaccines have any side effects for someone with her allergies and medical history?

For your mom, both Covishield and Covaxin are generally safe, even with her medical conditions. However, it‚Äôs crucial to consult her doctor due to her diabetes, hypertension, and allergies, as they may affect vaccine response.
