Question 1

I am a college student and commonly sneeze 3 to 4 times every morning. About 9 months ago, I developed a facial skin problem that became red, swollen, and sometimes oozed yellow fluid. A doctor diagnosed me with eczema and prescribed medicines, which initially helped. However, when the medicines were changed, the problem worsened and spread to other parts of my body. I could not use the medicines for long because they were steroids. This went on for about 7 months. Later, my doctor suggested comprehensive allergy testing and advised stopping all medicines. After stopping, the allergy gradually reduced. The allergy test indicated sensitivity to house dust and cotton dust. Currently, my facial eczema is under control, but my eyes have become red. A doctor suggested it might be conjunctivitis, but they are unsure if it is allergy related. I have had allergic problems since childhood, but they have worsened over the past 9 months. Could you please explain what might be happening and how I can manage these recurring allergies and eye symptoms?

Question 2

My nephew has skin allergies, and I have attached a test report from a year ago. Recently, he has been experiencing rapid weight gain, about 4 kg in the last 1.5 months. Could this be related to his allergies or something else?

Question 3

I am allergic to many things like dust and strong smell. What is the cough allergy test? Should I also get it done? I am 32 years old working as a HR in an MNC. Is it worth doing this allergy test? Can I get a permanent solution for this cough allergy?

A high IgE suggests allergy related symptoms. Avoid known triggers, keep skin moisturized, and follow doctors advice on antihistamines. Continue prescribed medication and maintain a hypoallergenic diet.
