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've been dealing with this cough for a month now, and my doctor suggested checking my IgE levels. My IgE is at 2463, and I'm a bit worried. What does having high IgE levels mean?

Higher amounts of IgE can be a sign that the body overreacts to allergens which can lead to an allergic reaction according to your history. But can also be high in case of parasitic infection
