Question 1

I'm dealing with this annoying throat irritation followed by a dry cough that's been bothering me since last year. It seems to get better for a while, but then it just comes back. My local doctor mentioned it might be an allergy. I've been taking levocetirizine 5 mg and montelukast 10 mg, along with using a mometasone nasal spray for the past 5 days, but I'm not seeing any relief. It's quite frustrating. I also did some tests and my CRP came back negative, but my immunoglobulin serum IgE level is pretty high at 250. Could you guide me on what to do next? Is there something else I should be trying?

Accepted Answer

It seems like you are experiencing allergic symptoms in your throat and cough. Since you have already been taking Levocetirizine 5mg + Montelukast 10mg and Mometasone nasal spray with no relief, I would recommend adding a mucolytic and a cough suppressant to your treatment regimen. You can try taking Ambroxol 30mg twice daily for mucus clearance and Dextromethorphan 10mg for cough suppression as needed. Additionally, since your Immunoglobulin serum IgE level is high, you may benefit from adding a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone propionate for better control of your symptoms. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I've noticed that my wife, who's 27, has been taking Okacet I tablets every day. She mentioned she's been dealing with a lot of sneezing and cold symptoms, especially in the mornings. I'm just curious if that's what the tablet is meant to help with. Can you tell me more about it?

Question 3

I've been struggling with breathing issues and recently found out my IgE level is 240, but I read it's meant to be between 0 and 100. Could this be causing my breathing problems? Is there anything I should be worried about or check into further?

Accepted Answer

Patient is advised tab augmentin duo  625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.
