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 a runny nose that mostly acts up at night, making it hard for me to get any sleep. It seems to go away only when I take medication, but it keeps coming back, especially during winter and rainy seasons. Interestingly, I don't face this issue in summer. Do you have any advice on how I can manage this better?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

I'm allergic to different smells like perfumes and soaps, and whenever I'm around them, I start sneezing, get a runny nose, and my eyes get really watery. It's been happening a lot more lately. On some dates, my Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) numbers look like this: February was 1350, March went down to 980, April was 800, August dropped to 705, but then in September, it shot up to 1035. I've been on Hetrazan 100mg tablets during March, April, May, and August, but even with the medication, my AEC went up again in September. Any idea why this is happening or how I can better manage it?
