I've been using Montek LC tablets for quite a while to help with my sneezing, especially when I wake up in the morning, and they've really made a difference. The problem is, whenever I stop taking them, the sneezing comes back even worse. Could you please give me some advice on what's going on or any suggestions on how to handle this?

I've been sneezing like 20 to 30 times a day, my nose is constantly stuffy, and my eyes are so watery. I talked to an ENT doctor and they had me take fexofenadine for a month, but it's not really helping. Do you have any better ideas to help with this?

Persistent discomfort near the esophagus while swallowing can be concerning! Given your symptoms and lack of improvement with the prescribed medications, consider the following possibilities: 1. _Esophagitis_: Inflammation of the esophagus, possibly caused by acid reflux or infection. 2. _Dysphagia_: Difficulty swallowing due to a narrowing or obstruction of the esophagus. 3. _Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)_: Stomach acid flowing back up into the esophagus, causing discomfort and inflammation. 4. _Esophageal spasm_: Abnormal muscle contractions in the esophagus, leading to discomfort and difficulty swallowing. It's essential to seek further evaluation and diagnosis from: 1. _Gastroenterologist_: For an endoscopy or other diagnostic tests to examine the esophagus and stomach. 2. _ENT specialist_: To reassess the tonsillitis diagnosis and explore other possible causes. In the meantime, try: 1. _Avoiding trigger foods_: Identify and avoid foods that exacerbate your symptoms. 2. _Eating smaller, more frequent meals_: To reduce discomfort and difficulty swallowing. 3. _Staying upright after meals_: To minimize acid reflux and discomfort. Please consult your doctor or a specialist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

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?
