I'm really worried about my husband's allergies, he's been dealing with them for the past four years. He recently had an allergy test, and it showed that he's allergic to something called parthenium hysterophorus and artemisia vulgaris. Can you tell me if there's a way to treat these allergies with medicine? Also, I'm curious about why these allergies occur and how they might have developed in his body.

I'm really worried about my IgE levels; they're at 1074 kUAL. My fingers get swollen in winter, and I'm starting to think I might have an allergy to cold temperatures. I've been taking Allegra 180 for two weeks, but my IgE levels haven't changed. With the COVID vaccine, I'm concerned about having a severe reaction. Do you think it's safe for me to get vaccinated?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I've been dealing with a runny nose all year round and have seen quite a few doctors about it. One suggested I take Montelukast regularly, but I'm not really into the idea of taking medication every day. Is there something I can take just once that might help instead?
