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.

This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

Question

I'm curious why I start sneezing whenever I have lemon water in the morning. Could there be a specific reason for this reaction? I'd love some insight into what's going on.

Question

I'm dealing with some really irritating throat stuff like a bad dry cough that just won't stop. It's so bad I can't even talk properly. I don't have a cold, just this annoying cough. I know I'm allergic to apples and citrus fruits, but I haven't had those in a long time. I'm starting to think maybe it's the smoke from the mosquito coils I've been using. Could they be causing this cough? I haven't tried any medicine yet, and I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice?

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?
