I've been having a rough time in the mornings. As soon as I wake up, I start sneezing non-stop. It's really uncomfortable because my eyes get watery, and my nose starts running. Plus, after sneezing, I always end up with a headache. Could this be allergies or something more serious? What should I do to feel better?

You may be experiencing symptoms of allergic rhinitis. I recommend taking an antihistamine such as Zyrtec (cetirizine) 10mg once daily to help with the sneezing, watery eyes, and nasal discharge. Additionally, you can use a nasal corticosteroid spray like Flonase (fluticasone) 50mcg in each nostril once daily to reduce inflammation in the nasal passages. If you also have a headache, you can take a pain reliever such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg as needed for relief.

I'm trying to understand my Allergy Screening Test results by IMMUNO EIA. It says my IgE level is 172 KUL, NIMESULIDE is 1.30 UL, and CEPHALOSPORIN is 1.20 UL. Can you explain what these numbers mean for my health? Also, what steps should I take to address this?
Elevated IgE levels suggest that you are sensitive or allergic to certain substances, but more specific testing (e.g., food allergy tests or skin prick tests) may be needed to pinpoint the exact cause. Nimesulide and Cephalosporins: You appear to have allergies to these substances, so avoid them in the future. Consult an allergist: A specialist can help create a detailed management plan, especially if you have ongoing symptoms or need to manage multiple allergies

I've been dealing with allergic rhinitis for the past four years and haven't seen an allergist yet. It's not seasonalI'm struggling with it all year round. Is it possible for an allergist to provide a permanent cure for this, or at least offer some significant relief? I'd really appreciate any advice.
Allergists can help manage and treat allergic rhinitis effectively, but it may not be cured forever. They can provide you with medications such as Loratadine (Claritin) or Cetirizine (Zyrtec) to help relieve your symptoms. In some cases, they may also recommend allergy shots (immunotherapy) to reduce your body's response to allergens. It's important to consult with an Allergist to create a personalized treatment plan for your allergic rhinitis.
