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.

View allI'm experiencing skin itching all over my body whenever I eat meat, fish, or eggs. There aren't any rashes, but it seems to happen in different areas like my leg, chin, and hands at different times. Could this be an allergy or something else I should be worried about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing food allergies that are manifesting as skin itching. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas to help with the itching. Make sure to avoid consuming meat, fish, and eggs to prevent further allergic reactions.

I'm allergic to a lot of things, and usually, it starts with a stuffed-up nose, then my throat gets sore, and I get chest congestion along with a dry, whooping cough. Sometimes I take steam inhalation, breathing it in through my nose and mouth, but I'm wondering if that could be harmful in any way? Lately, I've also been feeling some chest tightness along with the dry cough and it's starting to worry me. Could you help me understand if the steam is safe or if there's anything else I should be concerned about?
If you are experiencing nose congestion, sore throat, chest congestion, and dry whooping cough, it sounds like you may be suffering from allergic rhinitis and possibly bronchitis. Steam inhalation can actually be helpful in relieving your symptoms. You can try using a steam inhaler with plain water or adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil for added benefit. This can help to clear your nasal passages and soothe your throat. For your chest tightness and dry cough, you can also consider using an over-the-counter cough syrup containing dextromethorphan to help suppress the cough. Additionally, an antihistamine like loratadine can help with your allergies. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging for these medications. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.
