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

I've been having this issue where I just can't stop sneezing whenever the weather changes. It's even worse when it's humid or rainy outside. My nose gets all runny and sometimes I get these terrible headaches. It's gotten so bad that I have to leave work, take cetrizine, and sleep just to feel somewhat normal again. Do you have any solutions or advice for this?
