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?

I'm dealing with allergic rhinitis and sinusitis right now, causing me to have a cough, headache, and a runny nose. Should I go ahead and get the COVID vaccine while I'm feeling like this, or is it better to wait until these symptoms clear up? I'm worried that getting the vaccine might make my current situation worse. Can you provide some guidance?

I've noticed my eosinophil levels are higher than normal and I experienced some allergies recently. The symptoms have lessened, but I'm still dealing with an itchy sensation. How can I bring my eosinophil counts back to a normal range?

To reduce the eosinophil count and alleviate the itchy sensation, you can take over-the-counter antihistamines like Cetirizine (10mg once daily) or Loratadine (10mg once daily). Additionally, you can use a corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone 1% to relieve itching. Make sure to avoid allergens that trigger your allergies and maintain good hygiene to prevent further allergic reactions. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
