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

During the cold season, I find I keep sneezing if I wake up around 7 am. It lasts for about an hour. But if I get up later, like after 8 or 9, it doesn't seem to bother me much. I'm kind of worried about what's causing this and what I can do to help it. Any thoughts?

Azeflo nasal spray sos for 5 days is advised to the patient.
