What is the normal value of IgE level. My report shows 291 and I have chronic urticaria. Am I allergic. Does antihistamine reduce IgE level?

Yes, elevated IgE normal usually under 100 to 120 IU per ml suggests allergy tendency. Antihistamines relieve symptoms but do not lower IgE levels. Chronic urticaria often requires lifestyle tracking and ongoing care.

My nephew has been developing sudden redness and water filled blisters on his legs and hands, which resolve on their own within a few days. His blood reports appear normal, and we have consulted multiple dermatologists, but none have been able to identify the root cause of these recurring blisters. I have attached images for reference. Could you please review them and share any insights or suggestions you may have? Thank you in advance.

I am having skin allergy only at night for the last one month and was asked to do a blood test. The result of my blood test for allergy shows IgE is 347. In the liver test my total protein is 8, albumin is 4.1, and globulin is 3.9. I want to know if my report is normal?

The latest blood report is attached. He has been taking Zondis for more than 2 months with no relief. What should I do? Which specialist should I see? He is also feeling itching whenever he eats.
