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.

My IgE level is very high, around 1561. I am experiencing itching all over my body. I have been taking Leemav every other day and Ebast for one month. I am submitting my blood report and kindly request your suggestions on what I should do next.

I have been suffering from frontal sinus issues since 2005. I use an inhaler once or twice every two years. My ESR is 35, eosinophils are 12, and the rest of my blood report is normal.
