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?

I'm dealing with some really bad basal allergies and a persistent cough. I took Leon 500 mg and Lukotas HD at night, but then I just couldn't sleep the whole night and ended up with a terrible headache the next day. Even opening my eyes was painful. How can I avoid these side effects but still tackle the allergies and cough?

You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat and nose infection in this season. You may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days for faster recovery

I'm kinda puzzled about my situation and could use some advice. I had an IgE level of 200 iUmL and was dealing with this dry cough that kept coming back every 48 to 60 hours. My GP gave me an inhaler, but then I saw an ENT who suggested septiline, some syrup with dextromethorphan hydrobromide and chlorpheniramine maleate, and recharje plus capsules. Thankfully, I'm feeling better now. Thing is, I also have dyshidrosis but no trouble breathing. So, I'm curious why my IgE was high in the first place? Could it be related to these issues or something else entirely?
