I've noticed that I keep sneezing every morning right after I wake up, and also when I'm cooking. This has been happening for almost two years now. I took cetirizine and tried some ayurvedic medicine, which helped while I was taking them, but the sneezing came back once I stopped. I'm really curious about what could be causing this persistent issue. Do you have any suggestions for getting it under control or maybe even permanently resolving it?

I recommend taking Allegra (Fexofenadine) 180mg once daily in the morning to help control your symptoms. Additionally, using a nasal spray like Flonase (Fluticasone) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily can also help reduce nasal inflammation and sneezing. Make sure to continue these medications regularly for best results.

What does it mean if my serum IgE levels are high? I just got my blood test results back, and my IgE levels are at 263.9, but I read that under 100 is normal for adults. Should I be concerned about this, and what could it potentially indicate about my health? Would appreciate any insights on what steps I should take next.

I'm dealing with really high Immunoglobulin IGE and I've been getting this annoying skin rash and itching. My skin doctor prescribed levocetirizine to calm the itching down, but after taking it for two months, nothing's changed. Do you think I'm seeing the right type of doctor for this, or should I check in with another specialist since it might be related to my blood?

It seems like the skin doctor's approach of prescribing levocetirizine to suppress the itching caused by high Immunoglobulin E levels has not been effective in your case. Since elevated IgE levels are related to the immune system and can contribute to skin issues like rash and itching, it might be beneficial to consult with an Allergist or Immunologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend specific medications such as Montelukast along with antihistamines like Fexofenadine to address the underlying cause of the elevated IgE levels and provide relief from the symptoms.

I'm experiencing skin itching all over my body whenever I eat meat, fish, or eggs. There aren't any rashes, but it seems to happen in different areas like my leg, chin, and hands at different times. Could this be an allergy or something else I should be worried about?

It sounds like you may be experiencing food allergies that are manifesting as skin itching. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas to help with the itching. Make sure to avoid consuming meat, fish, and eggs to prevent further allergic reactions.
