Question 1

Every morning when I wake up, I can't stop sneezing. It's like a nonstop sneeze-fest. On top of that, I've noticed that my dark circles under my eyes are getting worse each day. I'm curious if there's any connection between these two things. What's causing this?

Accepted Answer

The sneezing could be due to allergic rhinitis, and the dark circles could be a result of nasal congestion causing poor sleep quality. For the sneezing, you can try taking an antihistamine like Claritin (loratadine) once daily in the morning to help with allergies. To address the dark circles, you can try using an over-the-counter decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help with nasal congestion and improve sleep quality. Make sure to also maintain good sleep hygiene and consider using a humidifier in your bedroom to help with any nasal congestion.

Question 2

I'm just wondering about something  I've been taking montek lc for a little over two months, and I've recently stopped for the past three days. Now I'm experiencing some mild suffocation and itching all over my body. Do you think there's a natural remedy for this, or is it something that I'll need to keep using for the rest of my life? I haven't had any asthma or lung issues before, so I'm kind of puzzled.

Accepted Answer

Visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 3

I was recently diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and got some concerning lab results. My WBC count is 13,000 and my serum IgE levels shot up to 3,500, which I know is way above the normal range of 0-100. Plus, my absolute eosinophil count is at 1,040, and I've read online that such high IgE levels could indicate cancer or some other serious disease. Is this something I should be worried about? And is it possible to bring my IgE level down to normal with medication? How long would that typically take?

Accepted Answer

Elevated IgE levels, especially with allergic rhinitis, are usually a sign of an allergic response, not cancer. It's important to manage your allergies with medication, which can help lower IgE levels over time. The duration of improvement can vary, but with proper treatment, you should start seeing changes in a few weeks to months. Always follow up with your doctor for personalized care.
