I've been noticing that whenever I touch something colder than the usual temperature, I start to sneeze. It's also happening with the early morning breeze sometimes, giving me that sneezing sensation. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just a common reaction?

Chronic cold and cough can be frustrating.

Considering your allergy-like symptoms, possible causes include:

Allergies (dust, pollen, pet dander)

Environmental factors (pollution, tobacco smoke)

Sinusitis or respiratory infections

For relief, try:

Antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine, loratadine)

Decongestants (e.g., pseudoephedrine)

Nasal sprays (e.g., saline, oxymetazoline)

Drinking plenty of fluids

Using a humidifier

Consult a doctor or allergist to determine the underlying cause and receive personalized guidance.

So Ive been dealing with an itchy throat for a while now and tried a bunch of meds, but none of them seemed to help. My doctor suggested I get a Sr IGE test, which I did, and my levels came back at 373, but the normal range should be below 158. What exactly is IGE and does this mean I have allergies? Will medications help get my levels back to normal? And what kind of allergen could cause this? Would really love some guidance on what to do next.

During the cold season, I find I keep sneezing if I wake up around 7 am. It lasts for about an hour. But if I get up later, like after 8 or 9, it doesn't seem to bother me much. I'm kind of worried about what's causing this and what I can do to help it. Any thoughts?

Azeflo nasal spray sos for 5 days is advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about this allergic problem I've been dealing with for the last two years. I keep getting short of breath, there's this whistling sound when I breathe, plus I've got a runny nose, a cough, and sometimes even a fever. Montek LC tablets do help, but as soon as I stop taking them, all these symptoms come back within a day or two. What should I do? Can you suggest anything that'll give me longer-lasting relief?
