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 trying to understand what it means to have a serum IgE total of 1575.6 KIUL. Is that considered really high? Should I be worried? Also, are there any ways to bring it down naturally, maybe with some home remedies? I'm just really curious and a bit concerned about what this could mean for my health.

I'm dealing with a runny nose that mostly acts up at night, making it hard for me to get any sleep. It seems to go away only when I take medication, but it keeps coming back, especially during winter and rainy seasons. Interestingly, I don't face this issue in summer. Do you have any advice on how I can manage this better?

That could be due to allergy, identify the triggering factor and avoid it, maintain healthy lifestyle.

I've been having this issue where I just can't stop sneezing whenever the weather changes. It's even worse when it's humid or rainy outside. My nose gets all runny and sometimes I get these terrible headaches. It's gotten so bad that I have to leave work, take cetrizine, and sleep just to feel somewhat normal again. Do you have any solutions or advice for this?
