I'm struggling with allergic rhinitis and it's been about 6 years now. I've been on continuous treatment, but I'm not feeling any relief. Could you please help me figure out what might be going on or suggest anything else I could try?

View allI'm wondering why I've started getting cold symptoms even with just a small amount of sweets since my covid vaccination. I used to eat sweets often without any issues, but now it seems like even a little bit triggers a cold. Could the vaccine have affected my immune response to sweets somehow? Any advice or insights you could share would be really helpful.
because of decreased immunity you are facing It, stop junk food and timely eating

I'm looking at my latest test results and I'm a bit worried. My eosinophil count came back as 10 and my ESR is at 51. The absolute eosinophil count is 700 and my serum IgE level is 954.1. I'm really not sure what all of this means or where the issue might be. Could you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take next?

I've been dealing with really high IGE levels, around 472, and the antihistamines I've tried only help a bit with my allergy symptoms, but they don't seem to get rid of them completely. I got an allergy test done and found out I'm allergic to dust mites, tomato, egg, fish, ginger, and a bunch of other things. I do my best to avoid these, but I've also got eczema on a few fingers, which started after using a rubber padded mouse too much. It's super stubborn and won't go away. Recently, I've noticed my eyes get really red and itchy, especially over the past couple of weeks, making it hard to see at night while driving. Do you think homeopathy might help with any of this?
That looks like Autoimmune disease you need to undergo detailed evaluation, visit Physician for evaluation and treatment
