View allI'm really struggling with this persistent urticaria issue I've had for a few years. I'm allergic to foods like spices, brinjal, Rajma, Urad dal, guava, oats, curd, namkeen, and too much sugar or jaggery. I've seen all the local doctors, but the problem comes back once I stop their treatments. My AEC test showed a count of 1000 when it should be under 250. I've taken a lot of antihistamines, but they mess up my digestion. Within minutes, I get weird patterns on my skin that vanish after 15-20 minutes. Can you please help me understand what's happening or suggest what I should do next?
Considering your persistent urticaria, multiple food allergies, and elevated Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) of 1000, consult an allergist or immunologist for comprehensive guidance; they may recommend immunotherapy, mast cell stabilizers, or biologics like omalizumab, in addition to strict avoidance of trigger foods and implementation of a low-histamine diet; also, consider gut-friendly antihistamines like levocetirizine or fexofenadine to minimize digestive side effects.

I'm really worried about my brother. He's been experiencing some alarming symptomshe feels like somethings grabbing his neck and has difficulty swallowing. This all started after he had some cake and cookies a couple of days ago. Initially, he had an allergy reaction on his lips and tongue followed by this chokelike sensation. Should we be concerned, and what kind of specialist would he need to see to get this checked out?
Your brother may be experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction, possibly leading to throat swelling or constriction known as angioedema. This can be a serious condition and requires immediate medical attention. He should seek help from an Emergency Room or Urgent Care center without delay. In the meantime, he can take an antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) 25-50mg every 4-6 hours to help with the allergic symptoms. However, this is not a substitute for professional medical evaluation and treatment. Please ensure he does not eat any more of the suspected allergen and avoids any triggers that may worsen his symptoms.
