Question 1

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.

Accepted Answer

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 2

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

I'm dealing with some breathing issues because of my recent in-vitro allergy test results. It turns out parthenium and aspergillus are pretty significant allergens for me. Do you have any advice on how I can relieve these symptoms? Is there anything specific I should be doing to manage this better?
