Can I get the Covaxin vaccine if I have my asthma managed with inhalers and a high IgE level around 4000, but I don't have any other health issues? I'm just a bit unsure because of my IgE levels.

Question

Every year, when September and October roll around, my nose starts running. What could be causing this? Does anyone know why this might happen?

I've been taking Allegra daily, but when I try to stop suddenly, I get really bad itching. How should I taper off the dosage to avoid this withdrawal effect? Should I switch to taking it once a week or maybe every other week? How long should I continue this process?
