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 dealing with wheezing for a while now, about 67 months, and I'm not sure whats going on. I'm a 24-year-old guy and was on Levocet M for two months because my doctor prescribed it. But I just had an IgE test, and my levels are at 486 UImL, which seems really high to me. Is there a way to lower my IgE levels? Is it something I should be worried about?
