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?

View allWhat does it mean if my serum IgE levels are high? I just got my blood test results back, and my IgE levels are at 263.9, but I read that under 100 is normal for adults. Should I be concerned about this, and what could it potentially indicate about my health? Would appreciate any insights on what steps I should take next.

I'm really struggling with this persistent urticaria issue I've had for a few years. I'm allergic to foods like spices, brinjal, Rajma, Urad dal, guava, oats, curd, namkeen, and too much sugar or jaggery. I've seen all the local doctors, but the problem comes back once I stop their treatments. My AEC test showed a count of 1000 when it should be under 250. I've taken a lot of antihistamines, but they mess up my digestion. Within minutes, I get weird patterns on my skin that vanish after 15-20 minutes. Can you please help me understand what's happening or suggest what I should do next?
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.
