I'm trying to understand my Allergy Screening Test results by IMMUNO EIA. It says my IgE level is 172 KUL, NIMESULIDE is 1.30 UL, and CEPHALOSPORIN is 1.20 UL. Can you explain what these numbers mean for my health? Also, what steps should I take to address this?

Elevated IgE levels suggest that you are sensitive or allergic to certain substances, but more specific testing (e.g., food allergy tests or skin prick tests) may be needed to pinpoint the exact cause. Nimesulide and Cephalosporins: You appear to have allergies to these substances, so avoid them in the future. Consult an allergist: A specialist can help create a detailed management plan, especially if you have ongoing symptoms or need to manage multiple allergies

I'm trying to understand what it means to have a serum IgE total of 1575.6 KIUL. Is that considered really high? Should I be worried? Also, are there any ways to bring it down naturally, maybe with some home remedies? I'm just really curious and a bit concerned about what this could mean for my health.

I got my Covishield vaccination on July 17, and the next day I was hit with fever, chills, and body aches. By the third day, it felt like I had a coldnasal congestion, sneezing, and shortness of breath. I usually deal with allergic rhinitis and experience allergies to fragrances and some foods, and I rely on my inhaler and L Montus tablets when things get uncomfortable. I'm just curious, could this sudden cold with shortness of breath be a reaction to the vaccination? Any ideas?

yes due to foreign body ingestion
