Every rainy season, I seem to always get hay fever. It's like clockwork! Do you think I should get a blood test to figure out why this keeps happening?

Symptom Tracking: Monitor when and how severe your symptoms are during the rainy season.
Consultation: Speak with a healthcare provider or allergist to assess the need for testing.
Testing Options: Consider an allergy panel blood test or a skin prick test to identify specific allergens.
Treatment: If symptoms are manageable with over-the-counter medications, testing may not be urgent but can aid in long-term management.

Consulting a healthcare professional will help tailor the best approach for your symptoms and medical history.

Question

I've been dealing with a cough and cold for a few days, and then I started having some breathing problems. I went to a doctor and got some medicine, but it didn't completely fix the issue. I had some tests done like tc, dc, esr, hd, and ige, and even had a chest x-ray. Just got my results back today and my ige levels are almost double the max limit. I'm worried and really want to consult a doctor about what this could mean. Any advice on next steps or what might be going on?

Question

I've been sneezing quite a bit lately, like throughout the day, especially right after I wake up or when I'm dealing with dusty old things. It's becoming quite bothersome. Do you have any idea what's causing this? Could it be some kind of allergy or something else? I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything I should be doing to ease it.

Question

I'm having these hives on my skin for the past three days. They seem to go away when I take Allegra, but come back the next day. I'm wondering how long it might take for them to fully go away. I remember having this same issue last summer. What could be causing this? I'm a 35-year-old male, by the way. Any advice would be great.
