  5. So Ive been dealing with an itchy throat for a while now and tried a bunch of meds, but none of them seemed to help. My doctor suggested I get a Sr IGE test, which I did, and my levels came back at 373, but the normal range should be below 158. What exactly is IGE and does this mean I have allergies? Will medications help get my levels back to normal? And what kind of allergen could cause this? Would really love some guidance on what to do next.
