I've recently gotten a blood test because I've been dealing with a cough, and my results have me a bit concerned. My AEC level is 490 cellscumm, WBC count is at 8000 cellscumm, and my ESR is 40 mmhr. I'm really eager to know how I can reduce my AEC level. Are there specific foods or lifestyle changes you would suggest to help with this?

I'm trying to understand what it means to have a serum IgE total of 1575.6 KIUL. Is that considered really high? Should I be worried? Also, are there any ways to bring it down naturally, maybe with some home remedies? I'm just really curious and a bit concerned about what this could mean for my health.

My husband has been dealing with an allergy for the past 4 years. He went for an allergy test, and it showed he's allergic to parthenium hysterophorus and artemisia vulgaris. What do these allergies mean, and how do they occur? Is there any treatment available? We're really hoping for some guidance here.

Parthenium hysterophorus (Congress grass) and Artemisia vulgaris (Mugwort) are common allergenic plants; the allergy occurs when your husband's immune system overreacts to proteins in these plants' pollen, leading to symptoms like rhinitis, itching, and respiratory issues; treatment options include avoidance of exposure, antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, immunotherapy (allergy shots), and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), so consult an allergist or immunologist to determine the best course of treatment.
