I've been dealing with a dust allergy and was advised to use Metaspray. I didn't get a refill for about four days after my last one ran out, and during that gap, I didn't take any other meds. Then, I caught a cold and fever, but that's starting to calm down now. I'm back on my Metaspray, but I'm really struggling with a dry cough and severe throat pain from all the coughing. What should I do?

I'm on levocetirizine at night, and it's making me feel drowsy and weak throughout the day. Is this a normal side effect I should be worried about? My doctor prescribed it, but I'm curious if this is typical.

yes it should be common

I've just done a COVID antibody IgG ELISA test and got a result of 0.95. I'm not sure if that's normal or not since I've never had any symptoms in the past. Does this mean I was infected with COVID at some point? Also, should I consider getting my family tested too?

igg is the antibody produced by your body for the covid organisms. get your family members tested if they are affecting with any symptoms

I've just found out that my IGE level is 1726, and I'm kind of freaking out. I'm currently taking ALLEGRAM, but I'm not really sure how effective it is. Are there specific precautions or lifestyle changes I should consider to help bring my IGE levels down? Any advice would be appreciated.

-Your elevated IGE level suggests an allergic response. Allegra-M can help manage symptoms, but it's essential to avoid allergens and follow your doctor's advice. Stay hydrated, and limit exposure to triggers like dust or pollen.
