I'm having this issue where every time I sleep, whether it's at night or even a nap during the day, I wake up with a runny nose for about an hour and end up sneezing occasionally. I've tried taking a lot of different medicines but nothing's really worked. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?

View allI've been dealing with this cough for a month now, and my doctor suggested checking my IgE levels. My IgE is at 2463, and I'm a bit worried. What does having high IgE levels mean?
Higher amounts of IgE can be a sign that the body overreacts to allergens which can lead to an allergic reaction according to your history. But can also be high in case of parasitic infection

Is regular steam inhalation with turmeric a good way to manage allergies, or should I be looking at other methods? I'd appreciate any advice on how to avoid allergies without relying on medications.
Regular steam inhalation with turmeric can be beneficial for allergies as turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract. The steam helps to open up the airways and relieve congestion, while turmeric can help to alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion. However, it is important to note that while steam inhalation with turmeric can provide some relief, it may not be a comprehensive solution for severe allergies. In addition to steam inhalation with turmeric, there are other natural ways to help manage allergies without medication. Some tips include keeping windows closed to prevent pollen from entering the house, using air purifiers to filter out allergens, regularly cleaning and dusting the house to reduce dust mites, avoiding outdoor activities during high pollen count days, and washing bedding frequently in hot water to remove allergens. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, staying hydrated, and getting regular exercise can help support overall immune health and reduce allergy symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, as severe allergies may require medication or other interventions.

I'm experiencing skin itching all over my body whenever I eat meat, fish, or eggs. There aren't any rashes, but it seems to happen in different areas like my leg, chin, and hands at different times. Could this be an allergy or something else I should be worried about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing food allergies that are manifesting as skin itching. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected areas to help with the itching. Make sure to avoid consuming meat, fish, and eggs to prevent further allergic reactions.
