What does it mean if my serum IgE levels are high? I just got my blood test results back, and my IgE levels are at 263.9, but I read that under 100 is normal for adults. Should I be concerned about this, and what could it potentially indicate about my health? Would appreciate any insights on what steps I should take next.

I got my Covishield vaccination on July 17, and the next day I was hit with fever, chills, and body aches. By the third day, it felt like I had a coldnasal congestion, sneezing, and shortness of breath. I usually deal with allergic rhinitis and experience allergies to fragrances and some foods, and I rely on my inhaler and L Montus tablets when things get uncomfortable. I'm just curious, could this sudden cold with shortness of breath be a reaction to the vaccination? Any ideas?

yes due to foreign body ingestion

I'm dealing with this allergy that's causing rashes all over my body. I've been taking cetirizine, but I'm not sure if its enough. Is there anything else I should be doing? Could this be a sign of something more serious, or just a typical allergic reaction? Id really appreciate your guidance on this.

I'm trying to manage my allergic rhinitis symptoms with just Montec LC without resorting to a corticosteroid nasal spray because I'm worried about the risk of glaucoma that comes with the spray. Is that even possible?
