I've been experiencing this weird thing where my ears get really hot and red. It seems to happen mostly when I eat meat or chicken, but sometimes it just happens out of nowhere. I'm not sure what's causing it, and it's starting to worry me a bit. Any ideas on what might be going on?

The symptoms of reddening and hot ears, especially after consuming meat and chicken, may indicate an allergic reaction, food intolerance, or histamine sensitivity; consider consulting an allergist or immunologist to rule out conditions like histamine intolerance, and try keeping a food diary to track triggers, while also exploring over-the-counter antihistamines or natural remedies like quercetin.

I'm dealing with this allergy that's causing rashes all over my body. I've been taking cetirizine, but I'm not sure if its enough. Is there anything else I should be doing? Could this be a sign of something more serious, or just a typical allergic reaction? Id really appreciate your guidance on this.

I'm really struggling with this persistent urticaria issue I've had for a few years. I'm allergic to foods like spices, brinjal, Rajma, Urad dal, guava, oats, curd, namkeen, and too much sugar or jaggery. I've seen all the local doctors, but the problem comes back once I stop their treatments. My AEC test showed a count of 1000 when it should be under 250. I've taken a lot of antihistamines, but they mess up my digestion. Within minutes, I get weird patterns on my skin that vanish after 15-20 minutes. Can you please help me understand what's happening or suggest what I should do next?

Considering your persistent urticaria, multiple food allergies, and elevated Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) of 1000, consult an allergist or immunologist for comprehensive guidance; they may recommend immunotherapy, mast cell stabilizers, or biologics like omalizumab, in addition to strict avoidance of trigger foods and implementation of a low-histamine diet; also, consider gut-friendly antihistamines like levocetirizine or fexofenadine to minimize digestive side effects.
