Question

I've been hearing some chatter about whether swallowing semen over several months might bring on asthma, and I'm pretty curious if there's any truth to that. Can you shed some light on whether there's any connection?

Question

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She started having breathing problems and a heavy chest about 34 months ago, and even though she took medication for eosinophilia, she didnt get much relief. The eosinophil count seems under control now, but her IgE levels are still really high. The doctor had her on a nasal spray and some other meds for 20 days, then switched them up a bit. Still, the high IgE level worries me. We've just gotten her PFT and RAST tests done. Im curious about what else we should be looking into or considering for her treatment. Could this be part of something more serious, and is there anything else we should ask the doctor to test for?

Question

I'm dealing with a cough that's been around for more than 10 years now. All my test reports have come back normal, but it's starting to feel like it could be some kind of allergy. It gets weird because it feels like something is stuck on the right side of my body, from my nose all the way to my chest. Do you have any advice on what might be going on or what I should do next?

Question

I'm struggling with allergic rhinitis and it's been about 6 years now. I've been on continuous treatment, but I'm not feeling any relief. Could you please help me figure out what might be going on or suggest anything else I could try?
