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've been struggling with breathing issues for the past couple of months and my doctor mentioned it's due to allergies from things like apple, banana, milk, and even coconut. He prescribed me something called a histoglob injection, with a schedule of weekly injections, then a break, and then more weekly doses. I'm really concerned because this is all new to me, and I'm not sure about the dosage or possible side effects. Can you explain what I might experience with this injection?
