I'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?

I'm really worried because I've been smoking weed daily for the past 3 years, and now I've developed some kind of skin allergy. The doctors ran a blood test, and the results showed my serum IgE level was at 6000, which sounds really bad. I've stopped smoking, but I'm nervous about what to do next, and I don't want my parents to find out about all this. How can I lower my serum IgE levels, and do you have any advice on passing allergy tests?

I've been dealing with really frequent colds and sneezing fits, like, a couple of times a week, and it usually sticks around for a day or two. I'm also managing asthma with a beclate inhaler. Any idea on how I can get this under control?

Hello Kiran, your symptoms of frequent cold and sneezing may indicate allergic rhinitis, which is often associated with asthma. I recommend consulting your doctor to evaluate triggers and consider adding an antihistamine or nasal spray to your treatment plan. Keeping your asthma well-controlled is also essential.

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and sinusitis right now, causing me to have a cough, headache, and a runny nose. Should I go ahead and get the COVID vaccine while I'm feeling like this, or is it better to wait until these symptoms clear up? I'm worried that getting the vaccine might make my current situation worse. Can you provide some guidance?

Azeflo nasal spray 7ml to both the nostrils is advised to the patient for 5 days.Steam inhalation is also advised to the patient.
