I'm really puzzled and a bit worried about some recent health changes. I never had asthma or anything related to it growing up, not until I turned 18. But after I had this pneumothorax incident, which luckily resolved on its own, I suddenly started showing asthmatic symptoms. I even had my blood tested and my IgE level was at 1500. Now I'm taking allergy shots. I'm confused because if this was asthma, shouldn't I have had symptoms since childhood? Plus, there's no family history of breathing issues. Why might this be happening now?

View allI've been dealing with a runny nose all year round and have seen quite a few doctors about it. One suggested I take Montelukast regularly, but I'm not really into the idea of taking medication every day. Is there something I can take just once that might help instead?

I've been struggling with breathing issues for the past couple of months and my doctor mentioned it's due to allergies from things like apple, banana, milk, and even coconut. He prescribed me something called a histoglob injection, with a schedule of weekly injections, then a break, and then more weekly doses. I'm really concerned because this is all new to me, and I'm not sure about the dosage or possible side effects. Can you explain what I might experience with this injection?

I'm dealing with really high Immunoglobulin IGE and I've been getting this annoying skin rash and itching. My skin doctor prescribed levocetirizine to calm the itching down, but after taking it for two months, nothing's changed. Do you think I'm seeing the right type of doctor for this, or should I check in with another specialist since it might be related to my blood?
It seems like the skin doctor's approach of prescribing levocetirizine to suppress the itching caused by high Immunoglobulin E levels has not been effective in your case. Since elevated IgE levels are related to the immune system and can contribute to skin issues like rash and itching, it might be beneficial to consult with an Allergist or Immunologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend specific medications such as Montelukast along with antihistamines like Fexofenadine to address the underlying cause of the elevated IgE levels and provide relief from the symptoms.
