My wife's been dealing with a dry cough for over two months now. We did an X-ray and some blood tests, and the doctor thinks it's an allergy. She's already been through three courses of tablets, but there's still no improvement. What do you think we should do next? Do you have any suggestions?

Do you have any advice on how I can relieve these symptoms? Is there anything specific I should be doing to manage this better?

I'm really worried and I need some advice. My CBS test is done, but I'm concerned because my eosinophil count is at 10 and my ESR is 44. Is this something related to asthma or could it be another issue? I'm feeling kind of anxious about what these numbers might mean. Can you help clarify this for me?

I've been using mometasone nasal spray, but I think I didn't use it correctly because now I'm experiencing some side effects. I'm getting rash, itching, and swelling on my face and around my throat, nose, and even my tongue. My upper teeth are feeling weird too. Plus, I'm feeling dizzy and have a headache. What do you think might be going on, and what should I do?
