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've been dealing with really frequent colds and sneezing fits, like, a couple of times a week, and it usually sticks around for a day or two. I'm also managing asthma with a beclate inhaler. Any idea on how I can get this under control?

Hello Kiran, your symptoms of frequent cold and sneezing may indicate allergic rhinitis, which is often associated with asthma. I recommend consulting your doctor to evaluate triggers and consider adding an antihistamine or nasal spray to your treatment plan. Keeping your asthma well-controlled is also essential.

I'm having this issue where every time I sleep, whether it's at night or even a nap during the day, I wake up with a runny nose for about an hour and end up sneezing occasionally. I've tried taking a lot of different medicines but nothing's really worked. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?

Azeflo nasal spray 7ml to both the nostrils is advised to the patient for 5 days.Steam inhalation is also advised to the patient.

I'm on levocetirizine at night, and it's making me feel drowsy and weak throughout the day. Is this a normal side effect I should be worried about? My doctor prescribed it, but I'm curious if this is typical.
