View allI'm allergic to eggs and it's really frustrating. Every time I have something with eggs, like stuff from the Pasty Cake Bakery, I get this awful abdominal pain that just won't go away, even after taking medicine. Some people think I'm just imagining it, but I'm pretty sure it's real. What's weird is that sometimes I get the same pain after having cheese or paneer dishes at certain restaurants. I havent eaten eggs in the last 25 years, but now I'm thinking about trying them again. What do you suggest? Are there specific foods I should stay away from? And is there any chance this allergy could be cured?
If you have a confirmed egg allergy, it's safer to continue avoiding eggs and egg-based products, even if you haven't eaten them for a long time. If you feel the urge to try eggs again, its best to consult an allergist first. They may advise you on how to approach it, and you may even undergo treatment like oral immunotherapy in some cases, but that requires professional supervision.

I've been dealing with wheezing for a while now, about 67 months, and I'm not sure whats going on. I'm a 24-year-old guy and was on Levocet M for two months because my doctor prescribed it. But I just had an IgE test, and my levels are at 486 UImL, which seems really high to me. Is there a way to lower my IgE levels? Is it something I should be worried about?
Seroflo rotahaler sos is advised to the patient.
