I've been dealing with allergies from things like dust and pollen, which usually leave me with a running nose and watery eyes. To manage this, I've been taking Cetrizine 10mg every few days for about a year now. I'm just a bit worried about whether there are any serious side effects from using this medication long-term? Or maybe there's a better way to handle this that I haven't tried?

View allI was recently diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and got some concerning lab results. My WBC count is 13,000 and my serum IgE levels shot up to 3,500, which I know is way above the normal range of 0-100. Plus, my absolute eosinophil count is at 1,040, and I've read online that such high IgE levels could indicate cancer or some other serious disease. Is this something I should be worried about? And is it possible to bring my IgE level down to normal with medication? How long would that typically take?
Elevated IgE levels, especially with allergic rhinitis, are usually a sign of an allergic response, not cancer. It's important to manage your allergies with medication, which can help lower IgE levels over time. The duration of improvement can vary, but with proper treatment, you should start seeing changes in a few weeks to months. Always follow up with your doctor for personalized care.

I'm really struggling with this issue where I get this unbearable headache whenever I leave the fan on overnight. It also makes my sneezing worse. Ive seen a doctor about it, but the problem just keeps coming back. Do you have any suggestions or remedies that could help?

I'm experiencing this unusual burning sensation all over my body, but there's no fever. My torso feels dry and a bit allergic, though it's not really itchy. Oddly enough, gently rubbing my torso seems to help. Along with this, my nose has been drippy, and my stomach bloated after eating rice and egg with some red chili flakes for breakfast. This all began yesterday morning. I woke up with my face feeling hot, and then it spread to my hands and feet. It's been like this since then. I'm 47 years old and can't figure out what kicked off these symptoms. The night before it all started, I had two shots of rum and prawns for dinner, which is unusual for me because I don't drink often and rarely eat seafood, particularly prawnsthe last time was like a year or two ago. What's going on with my body?
That could be allergic reaction due to Prawns,stay hydrated and visit physician for appropriate management.
