I've been taking Allegra daily, but when I try to stop suddenly, I get really bad itching. How should I taper off the dosage to avoid this withdrawal effect? Should I switch to taking it once a week or maybe every other week? How long should I continue this process?

-To taper off Allegra, it's best to gradually reduce the dose to avoid withdrawal symptoms like severe itching. You can start by taking one tablet every other day, then reduce to once a week, and eventually stop. This process could take 2-3 weeks, dependi

I've been dealing with some health issues over the past three months, and I'm getting a bit worried. My Blood Eosinophil count is 828 cellscumm and the Eosinophil is 9. The WBC is at 9300 cellscumm. The urine test showed normal blood sugar, and there are no traces of Eosinophil in it. I'm just trying to understand what's going on and how I can get better. Any advice on what might be causing these issues or what steps I can take to improve my health?

Consume green leafy vegetables and fruits which contain antioxidants and minerals help in eosinophilia related reactions,avoid triggering allergens.

I'm experiencing this unusual burning sensation all over my body, but there's no fever. My torso feels dry and a bit allergic, though it's not really itchy. Oddly enough, gently rubbing my torso seems to help. Along with this, my nose has been drippy, and my stomach bloated after eating rice and egg with some red chili flakes for breakfast. This all began yesterday morning. I woke up with my face feeling hot, and then it spread to my hands and feet. It's been like this since then. I'm 47 years old and can't figure out what kicked off these symptoms. The night before it all started, I had two shots of rum and prawns for dinner, which is unusual for me because I don't drink often and rarely eat seafood, particularly prawnsthe last time was like a year or two ago. What's going on with my body?

That could be allergic reaction due to Prawns,stay hydrated and visit physician for appropriate management.

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?

take tablet tusq for 5 days twice a day
