  5. Ive been dealing with urticaria for a few years now, and Im allergic to foods like spices, brinjal, rajma, urad dal, guava, oats, curd, namkeen, and excess sugar or jaggery. Peculiar patterns appear on my skin within minutes, but they fade in about 15-20 minutes. My Absolute Eosinophil Count was 1000, and my doctor mentioned it should be below 250. Ive taken many antihistamines, which have affected my digestion. The symptoms always come back after I stop treatment. What can I do to manage this better?

Considering your persistent urticaria, multiple food allergies, and elevated Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) of 1000, consult an allergist or immunologist for comprehensive guidance; they may recommend immunotherapy, mast cell stabilizers, or biologics like omalizumab, in addition to strict avoidance of trigger foods and implementation of a low-histamine diet; also, consider gut-friendly antihistamines like levocetirizine or fexofenadine to minimize digestive side effects.
