My friend has this issue where every time she smells something, she starts coughing and it's like her nose gets blocked or something. She's been using a Duolin inhaler and some cough medicine, but it only seems to help temporarily. We're kind of worried and wondering if there's an actual treatment to get rid of this problem for good. Any advice on what might be going on or what we should do?

I've been having a tough time with a throat infection, and after getting some blood work done, I found out that my IgE level is quite high at 1475. I'm really concerned and just wondering, what could be causing this and how can I lower my IgE levels? Also, what kind of problems could come up from having elevated IgE?

That's says you are sensitive to allergens, identify the substance and avoid it,consume more fruits,green leafy vegetables and maintain healthy lifestyle.

I'm really struggling with a heavy cough, and I'm dealing with allergy symptoms and general weakness too. On top of that, I have swelling in my joints and itchy palms. It's been so bad that I've had to take a Levocetirizine capsule every day to manage it. Without it, I just can't handle the cough at all. Is there anything else I can do or try to make this better?

I've been on Montair LC for over 4 years now, and every time I try to stop, I get a runny nose and my body itches like crazy. I really want to stop taking it, but it's like I can't. Do you have any ideas on how I can gradually phase it out? Is it okay if I just break the pill in half and take that instead?
