I've been sneezing quite a bit lately, like throughout the day, especially right after I wake up or when I'm dealing with dusty old things. It's becoming quite bothersome. Do you have any idea what's causing this? Could it be some kind of allergy or something else? I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything I should be doing to ease it.

I'm trying to manage my allergic rhinitis symptoms with just Montec LC without resorting to a corticosteroid nasal spray because I'm worried about the risk of glaucoma that comes with the spray. Is that even possible?

I'm 22 and recently had an allergy test done with an IGE result of 360. I'm curious and a bit worried if taking 500 mg of paracetamol can cause me to have hives or urticaria. Can you please help me understand this?

I was recently diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and got some concerning lab results. My WBC count is 13,000 and my serum IgE levels shot up to 3,500, which I know is way above the normal range of 0-100. Plus, my absolute eosinophil count is at 1,040, and I've read online that such high IgE levels could indicate cancer or some other serious disease. Is this something I should be worried about? And is it possible to bring my IgE level down to normal with medication? How long would that typically take?

Elevated IgE levels, especially with allergic rhinitis, are usually a sign of an allergic response, not cancer. It's important to manage your allergies with medication, which can help lower IgE levels over time. The duration of improvement can vary, but with proper treatment, you should start seeing changes in a few weeks to months. Always follow up with your doctor for personalized care.
