I'm really struggling with this persistent urticaria issue I've had for a few years. I'm allergic to foods like spices, brinjal, Rajma, Urad dal, guava, oats, curd, namkeen, and too much sugar or jaggery. I've seen all the local doctors, but the problem comes back once I stop their treatments. My AEC test showed a count of 1000 when it should be under 250. I've taken a lot of antihistamines, but they mess up my digestion. Within minutes, I get weird patterns on my skin that vanish after 15-20 minutes. Can you please help me understand what's happening or suggest what I should do next?

Considering your persistent urticaria, multiple food allergies, and elevated Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) of 1000, consult an allergist or immunologist for comprehensive guidance; they may recommend immunotherapy, mast cell stabilizers, or biologics like omalizumab, in addition to strict avoidance of trigger foods and implementation of a low-histamine diet; also, consider gut-friendly antihistamines like levocetirizine or fexofenadine to minimize digestive side effects.

View allI'm really worried about my 14-year-old son's allergies. He's been coughing a lot throughout the year, and it seems like any change in the weather makes it worse. Ive noticed sometimes when he sleeps, there's a whistling sound coming from his nose. What could be causing this, and how can I help him feel better?
Thats due to allergy,avoiding the triggering factor is the only treatment for such conditions

I'm finally over my cold and all the symptoms, which is great. But now I'm wondering how to stop taking the tablets I've been on. I was prescribed a combination of fexofenadine 120 mg and montelukast 10 mg to take at night for six months, and I've just finished that period. The doctor who prescribed it has moved abroad, and I'm not sure what to do next. I tried skipping the medication for two days, but started experiencing itching all over my body. I was initially taking this for a runny nose from 6 am to 11 am every day. Since these medications have worked and my cold is completely cured, how should I go about stopping them?
Ceruklin Ear Drops are typically used for 3-5 days before earwax is softened and removed. Since you've already used the drops for 5 days, consider: - Continuing for 1-2 more days (max 7 days) - Having your ears checked by a doctor or ENT specialist - Using ear drops as directed and avoiding excessive use If the wax persists, consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and removal.

I'm dealing with allergies to brinjal and tamarind, and it's getting pretty frustrating. Every time I eat them, I end up with rashes and itching. What could be causing this, and is there anything I can do to prevent these reactions?
