I'm really worried because my mom is allergic to diclofenac and also has a dust allergy. We haven't gotten her COVID results yet, and I'm thinking about giving her ivermectin as a precaution. But I'm concerneddoes ivermectin have any diclofenac in it? Can you advise us on whether it's safe for her?

View allSo Ive been dealing with an itchy throat for a while now and tried a bunch of meds, but none of them seemed to help. My doctor suggested I get a Sr IGE test, which I did, and my levels came back at 373, but the normal range should be below 158. What exactly is IGE and does this mean I have allergies? Will medications help get my levels back to normal? And what kind of allergen could cause this? Would really love some guidance on what to do next.

I'm on levocetirizine at night, and it's making me feel drowsy and weak throughout the day. Is this a normal side effect I should be worried about? My doctor prescribed it, but I'm curious if this is typical.

I've been experiencing this weird thing where my ears get really hot and red. It seems to happen mostly when I eat meat or chicken, but sometimes it just happens out of nowhere. I'm not sure what's causing it, and it's starting to worry me a bit. Any ideas on what might be going on?
The symptoms of reddening and hot ears, especially after consuming meat and chicken, may indicate an allergic reaction, food intolerance, or histamine sensitivity; consider consulting an allergist or immunologist to rule out conditions like histamine intolerance, and try keeping a food diary to track triggers, while also exploring over-the-counter antihistamines or natural remedies like quercetin.
