Question

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.

Question

I'm having trouble breathing after a bee sting, and I know I have an allergy to them. Usually, it takes about 12 days for me to get over a bee sting, but this time I can't breathe properly. Should I be worried? What should I do?

Question

I'm dealing with this allergy that's causing rashes all over my body. I've been taking cetirizine, but I'm not sure if its enough. Is there anything else I should be doing? Could this be a sign of something more serious, or just a typical allergic reaction? Id really appreciate your guidance on this.

Question

I've noticed that I keep sneezing every morning right after I wake up, and also when I'm cooking. This has been happening for almost two years now. I took cetirizine and tried some ayurvedic medicine, which helped while I was taking them, but the sneezing came back once I stopped. I'm really curious about what could be causing this persistent issue. Do you have any suggestions for getting it under control or maybe even permanently resolving it?
