Question 1

I consulted a doctor at KIMS, and they said I have an allergy, so I have been taking allergy medicine. However, I am experiencing chest mucus and frequently vomiting mucus after eating. My test report shows immunoglobulin E over 1000. Could this be the reason for my phlegm problem?

Question 2

Hello, I had a potential HIV exposure 85 days ago. Since around 75 days after exposure, I have been experiencing itching and irritation on my hands and feet. I took an HIV DUO test after 80 days, and it came back non reactive with a value of 0.82. I am very anxious because of the persistent itching. Can you please explain why my blood test is negative even though I am experiencing these symptoms?

Question 3

Hi all. I have been having a chronic scratchy throat almost every month. It comes like a cold, stays for 5 to 6 days and then goes away. I was a smoker earlier, so I did spirometry to check whether it is asthma or COPD. Both reports were negative and the doctor advised Montek AB for 3 weeks. I also have acidity and gas issues for which I am taking Nexium D in the morning and Pan D in the evening. Today my CBC and blood report came (see attached). My serum IgE looks high. Can anyone review these two reports and let me know what is going wrong in me? My mean platelet volume is 13.6. Do I need to worry?

As per my recent blood report, my IgE (immunoglobulin E) level is significantly elevated at 1667. My local doctor has advised me to undergo a complete allergy test at a specialized hospital. Could you please advise on the next steps and what I should do?

Significantly elevated IgE indicates allergy. A complete allergy panel can help identify the specific triggers. Consult an immunologist or allergist.
