View allI've been using fexofenadine for about three years now since I had a bad case of bronchitis that dragged on for a while. Whenever I try to stop taking it, like my doctor suggested, I end up with this crazy itching all over. The doctor's advice was to take it only if the itching starts. I'm really curious if it's safe to continue taking fexofenadine this way, and Im also wondering if there are any other methods or alternatives I should consider. What do you think?
Yes, continue all the medications.

I'm kind of worried about my health stuff lately. My weight's at 84.3 kg and I've been having this chest discomfort for about two years now. Last year, I saw a pulmonologist and got some tests done like an X-ray, CBP, IGE serum, and PFT. Everything was normal except my IGE serum level, which was 432.2 IUml. The doctor prescribed me Tab.FM 24 to take every night, but I never ended up using it. Do you think I should start taking the tablet again if my IGE level turns out to be high? And what are the symptoms of having a high IGE level?

I've been dealing with this slight mucus at the back of my throat for a few months, but I don't usually cough because of it. However, every time I go swimming, I end up sneezing a lot and my nose gets really runny. I'm wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or if it's just a normal reaction.
take one course of antibiotic tablet amoxyclav for 5 days,twice a day
