I'm really worried and I need some advice. My CBS test is done, but I'm concerned because my eosinophil count is at 10 and my ESR is 44. Is this something related to asthma or could it be another issue? I'm feeling kind of anxious about what these numbers might mean. Can you help clarify this for me?

View allEvery morning when I wake up, I can't stop sneezing. It's like a nonstop sneeze-fest. On top of that, I've noticed that my dark circles under my eyes are getting worse each day. I'm curious if there's any connection between these two things. What's causing this?
The sneezing could be due to allergic rhinitis, and the dark circles could be a result of nasal congestion causing poor sleep quality. For the sneezing, you can try taking an antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) once daily in the morning to help with allergies. To address the dark circles, you can try using an over-the-counter decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help with nasal congestion and improve sleep quality. Make sure to also maintain good sleep hygiene and consider using a humidifier in your bedroom to help with any nasal congestion.

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.
