Question 1

I have been facing cold for 2 weeks and wet cough for 1.5 months. After several examinations my report is normal. After taking many medicines I do not feel better but after taking Cheston Cold tablet I feel good. How many days can I take Cheston Cold tablet to remove all bacterial infection?

Question 2

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?

Question 3

My serum IgE level is 4653 IU/mL. I have a history of allergies, asthma, and psoriasis since childhood, and I also get frequent fungal infections. What tests can be done, or how can we diagnose whether I have Autosomal Recessive Hyper IgE Syndrome (AR HIES)?

Is my report normal or should I take medicine? I do not know whether I have asthma or not but my IgE value is very high at 1900.

High IgE may be linked to allergies or asthma, but does not confirm asthma alone. Breathing tests like spirometry and symptoms like wheezing are needed to diagnose asthma.
