I've just done a COVID antibody IgG ELISA test and got a result of 0.95. I'm not sure if that's normal or not since I've never had any symptoms in the past. Does this mean I was infected with COVID at some point? Also, should I consider getting my family tested too?

I've just found out that my IGE level is 1726, and I'm kind of freaking out. I'm currently taking ALLEGRAM, but I'm not really sure how effective it is. Are there specific precautions or lifestyle changes I should consider to help bring my IGE levels down? Any advice would be appreciated.
-Your elevated IGE level suggests an allergic response. Allegra-M can help manage symptoms, but it's essential to avoid allergens and follow your doctor's advice. Stay hydrated, and limit exposure to triggers like dust or pollen.
