What is the normal value of IgE level. My report shows 291 and I have chronic urticaria. Am I allergic. Does antihistamine reduce IgE level?

Yes, elevated IgE normal usually under 100 to 120 IU per ml suggests allergy tendency. Antihistamines relieve symptoms but do not lower IgE levels. Chronic urticaria often requires lifestyle tracking and ongoing care.

Dear doctor, attached is my diagnosis report and my latest blood report. Medicines taken are Vitrace cv, Imofetil 500, Anliv 500, Divaine 50 and Effipan. I am a plumbing worker, and I was diagnosed with this disease. The above medicines were taken in different dosages, and during the medication period, I was fine. Due to the recent pandemic, my medicines were completed, and I was not able to visit the doctor. Again, I got itching skin and blisters started on my body, which took me back to my initial condition. Doctor, I do not know why I have not recovered. I have spent a lot of money and consumed many medicines, but still there is no improvement. Please advise. Thanks and regards, Ramesh.
