I consulted a doctor at KIMS, and they said I have an allergy, so I have been taking allergy medicine. However, I am experiencing chest mucus and frequently vomiting mucus after eating. My test report shows immunoglobulin E over 1000. Could this be the reason for my phlegm problem?

Yes, very high IgE suggests strong allergic reaction. Mucus and vomiting after food can be related. Continue anti allergy meds, avoid known allergens, and consider seeing an allergist for immunotherapy or dietary review.

Hi all. I have been having a chronic scratchy throat almost every month. It comes like a cold, stays for 5 to 6 days and then goes away. I was a smoker earlier, so I did spirometry to check whether it is asthma or COPD. Both reports were negative and the doctor advised Montek AB for 3 weeks. I also have acidity and gas issues for which I am taking Nexium D in the morning and Pan D in the evening. Today my CBC and blood report came (see attached). My serum IgE looks high. Can anyone review these two reports and let me know what is going wrong in me? My mean platelet volume is 13.6. Do I need to worry?

This is my blood test report. Please tell me why I have been experiencing constant sneezing, a blocked nose, and loss of smell for the past year.

Sir, I have an IgE serum level of 484 in my blood test report and have allergies in my body because of it. Can I take the COVID vaccine?
