I'm really struggling with sneezing and a blocked nose, and it's been going on for almost three years. I got an allergy test done and have been using Duonase Nasal Spray for nearly two years, but I haven't found any relief. Do you have any suggestions for other treatments or solutions that might help?

I'm dealing with allergies pretty badly because of dust and strong perfume smells. It gets to the point where I'll sneeze non-stop for like 10 to 15 minutes, often more than 15 times. I've been using MONTEMAC FX or MONTEMAC L to help with it and while they do work, the side effects leave me feeling super sleepy and just not myself the next day. I've also found out that I can't take levocetirizine and anything with FX. Can you recommend something else that won't make me feel drowsy?

I've had allergic reactions to antibiotic injections and tablets since 2007 when I took claribid for a lung allergy. Even after allergy tests showed only some antibiotics as problematic, others that should be safe still give me skin rashes. Now I need surgery but I'm worried about the required antibiotics - what options do I have?

I can understand your concern. I can surely help you with some medicine but for that I need to know a few more details.

I've just done a COVID antibody IgG ELISA test and got a result of 0.95. I'm not sure if that's normal or not since I've never had any symptoms in the past. Does this mean I was infected with COVID at some point? Also, should I consider getting my family tested too?

igg is the antibody produced by your body for the covid organisms. get your family members tested if they are affecting with any symptoms
