I'm really starting to worry because I've been experiencing breathlessness, especially at night when I lie down, and it's stressing me out. The CBC test showed my WBC count is 9700, and my IgE level is as high as 2700. Plus, I've got an absolute eosinophil count of 500 and an ESR of 31. Alongside all this, I've been having tingling and numbness in my hands and feet. I had an ECG, and it came back normal, which leaves me even more confused. Can you help me figure out what's going on and recommend any medication or treatment that might help?

I'm curious about something that's been happening to me. Whenever I'm in the kitchen and accidentally inhale heated red palm oil, I start choking and coughing, but I don't seem to have any issues with cigarette smoke, fumes from burning bushes, or car exhausts. Why does this happen? Should I be worried about a specific allergy or sensitivity to something in the red palm oil?

may be you are allergic to that smell

I've been taking amoxicillin and I've noticed I've got a rash now. I found online that penicillin-based antibiotics can have side effects like this. Should I stop taking the amoxicillin, or is it okay if I keep going but maybe take something like cetrizine to handle the allergy? I'm just really unsure about what's best to do here.

It is important to stop taking amoxicillin if you have developed a rash as it may indicate an allergic reaction. You should consult with your doctor to confirm the allergy and for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take an antihistamine like Cetirizine to help with the rash and itching.
