Question

I've been dealing with this cough for a month now, and my doctor suggested checking my IgE levels. My IgE is at 2463, and I'm a bit worried. What does having high IgE levels mean?

Higher amounts of IgE can be a sign that the body overreacts to allergens which can lead to an allergic reaction according to your history. But can also be high in case of parasitic infection
