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 cough and cold for a few days, and then I started having some breathing problems. I went to a doctor and got some medicine, but it didn't completely fix the issue. I had some tests done like tc, dc, esr, hd, and ige, and even had a chest x-ray. Just got my results back today and my ige levels are almost double the max limit. I'm worried and really want to consult a doctor about what this could mean. Any advice on next steps or what might be going on?

I'm dealing with some really irritating throat stuff like a bad dry cough that just won't stop. It's so bad I can't even talk properly. I don't have a cold, just this annoying cough. I know I'm allergic to apples and citrus fruits, but I haven't had those in a long time. I'm starting to think maybe it's the smoke from the mosquito coils I've been using. Could they be causing this cough? I haven't tried any medicine yet, and I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice?
Exposure to mosquito coil smoke could be exacerbating your existing allergy symptoms. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine to help with the allergic reaction. Additionally, you can use a throat lozenge or syrup containing Diphenhydramine (brand name Benadryl) for soothing the throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid further exposure to mosquito coil smoke. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

I've been having this issue where I just can't stop sneezing whenever the weather changes. It's even worse when it's humid or rainy outside. My nose gets all runny and sometimes I get these terrible headaches. It's gotten so bad that I have to leave work, take cetrizine, and sleep just to feel somewhat normal again. Do you have any solutions or advice for this?
