I've been dealing with this heavy sinus issue for about 6 months now, and it's driving me crazy. I notice there's not much mucus, but I sneeze a lot, even when I try using steam. Whenever I take Montek LC, it seems to help, but if I skip even one day, my eyes feel really heavy and my nose starts running like crazy. It feels like the air is somehow getting into my nose and causing all this trouble. My doctor suggested I might need to take Montek LC forever or use an inhaler to clear the mucus. I'm really hoping for a more permanent solution. What do you think I should do?

I'm having a hard time dealing with constant sneezing every time I walk into a place that's even a little chilly. My nose feels blocked despite not having a runny nose, and I know I have allergic rhinitis. I'm currently on Foracort, but it doesn't seem to be helping much with these symptoms. Could there be something else going on, or is there something different I should be trying?
continue foracort, start steam inhalation

I'm really concerned about my high IGE levelsthey've been around 1750 for the past four years. I've also been dealing with severe itching in my buttocks and thighs and I tried histo glob injections every 12 weeks, but my IGE levels haven't gone down. Do you have any advice or other treatment options that could help with this?
High IGE levels can be associated with various conditions such as allergies, infections, and certain immune disorders. In your case, with a high IGE level of 1750 for the past 4 years and severe itching in the buttocks and thighs, it is important to investigate further to determine the underlying cause. Since the Histo Globinjections have not led to a reduction in IGE levels, I would recommend considering other treatment options. One possible medication that can be considered for reducing IGE levels is Omalizumab (Xolair). The typical dosage for Omalizumab is based on weight and IgE levels, and it is usually administered subcutaneously every 2 to 4 weeks. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss this treatment option further and to determine the most appropriate course of action based on your individual medical history and condition.
