I'm curious about what's going on with my health. I've been experiencing watery eyes, a runny and stuffed nose, body aches, an itchy throat and nose, and headaches that all come on suddenly. I usually take cetirizine, and it seems to clear up these symptoms within a day. But the problem is they keep coming back every couple of weeks or even sooner. Plus, I end up sneezing like 60 to 70 times in a day, which is just exhausting. And these really intense headaches are happening every other day too. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

I've been on Montair LC for over 4 years now, and every time I try to stop, I get a runny nose and my body itches like crazy. I really want to stop taking it, but it's like I can't. Do you have any ideas on how I can gradually phase it out? Is it okay if I just break the pill in half and take that instead?

take it half

I'm kind of worried about my health stuff lately. My weight's at 84.3 kg and I've been having this chest discomfort for about two years now. Last year, I saw a pulmonologist and got some tests done like an X-ray, CBP, IGE serum, and PFT. Everything was normal except my IGE serum level, which was 432.2 IUml. The doctor prescribed me Tab.FM 24 to take every night, but I never ended up using it. Do you think I should start taking the tablet again if my IGE level turns out to be high? And what are the symptoms of having a high IGE level?

Patient is advised tab augmentin duo 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .
