Question 1

I am a 53 year old woman suffering from allergic rhinitis. I would like to know the cost of a skin prick test for both airborne and food allergens. Additionally, if I am found to be allergic to something like house dust mites, what would be the cost of allergy vaccination (immunotherapy)? For your reference, my recent test results are: TLC: 9100/cumm, Neutrophils: 50percent, Lymphocytes: 40percent, Eosinophils: 6percent, Monocytes: 4percent, Basophils: 0percent, Total IgE: 231.2 IU/ml, hsCRP: 4.6 mg/L, Vitamin D: 7.65 ng/ml.

Question 2

For the past 3 years, I have been experiencing itching during summer. I have consulted many doctors, but the problem has not been cured for long. I have tried homeopathic medicines and other treatments, but without lasting relief. I am attaching my test report and would like your feedback and advice.

Question 3

Dear Doctor, I have severe sneezing and wheezing and my eyes and ears are also itching and having irritation. Sneezing for more than 100 times in a day, minimum 10 to 20 each time I sneeze, is making my life miserable. I am also struggling with sleepless nights, which is increasing my symptoms even higher. How can I tackle this issue? I found my eosinophils count is a little higher than expected. I am yet to receive the complete blood report. But this problem has been consistent for more than 3 years. Please suggest a way to get out of this miserable living. When I sneeze, urine leaks. In the morning, as soon as I wake up, I sneeze like hell and my stools also leak due to severe and unstoppable sneezing. I hope you are able to see the life I am living. I do not know which treatment or which specialist is suitable to treat my problem. Please help and direct me to the correct treatment. Thank you, Durgalakshmi.

As per my recent blood report, my IgE (immunoglobulin E) level is significantly elevated at 1667. My local doctor has advised me to undergo a complete allergy test at a specialized hospital. Could you please advise on the next steps and what I should do?

Significantly elevated IgE indicates allergy. A complete allergy panel can help identify the specific triggers. Consult an immunologist or allergist.
