I've been dealing with a runny nose all year round and have seen quite a few doctors about it. One suggested I take Montelukast regularly, but I'm not really into the idea of taking medication every day. Is there something I can take just once that might help instead?

I'm dealing with chronic liver disease, allergic rhinitis, bronchitis, and asthma, and I'm really worried about finding a safe antihistamine for my condition. Do you think options like Levocetirizine, Desloratadine, or Bilastine would be safe for me?

For someone with chronic liver disease, it's important to choose an antihistamine that has minimal impact on the liver. Among the options, **Desloratadine** is generally considered safer as it has fewer liver-related side effects compared to others. However, it's best to consult your doctor before starting any medication to ensure it's appropriate for your condition.

I'm really worried because I've been smoking weed daily for the past 3 years, and now I've developed some kind of skin allergy. The doctors ran a blood test, and the results showed my serum IgE level was at 6000, which sounds really bad. I've stopped smoking, but I'm nervous about what to do next, and I don't want my parents to find out about all this. How can I lower my serum IgE levels, and do you have any advice on passing allergy tests?
