I've been dealing with a constant cough for the past five months, and a specialist I saw said it's due to allergies. He gave me some medicine and told me it would go away eventually, but it hasn't seemed to improve. What could be going on? Is there something else I should be considering or asking about?

I'm really anxious about my IgE level being 1800. I attached my test report and I'm not sure what this means. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?

I'm a bit worried about taking sublingual drops for my allergic immunotherapy given the current COVID-19 situation. Could these drops affect my immune system in a negative way or pose any other risks right now?

I'm really puzzled and a bit worried about some recent health changes. I never had asthma or anything related to it growing up, not until I turned 18. But after I had this pneumothorax incident, which luckily resolved on its own, I suddenly started showing asthmatic symptoms. I even had my blood tested and my IgE level was at 1500. Now I'm taking allergy shots. I'm confused because if this was asthma, shouldn't I have had symptoms since childhood? Plus, there's no family history of breathing issues. Why might this be happening now?
