We have done his ige level which was very much high even in air condition and while swimming or bathing for long cause red rashes in his whole body pls advice docters have already recommeded many anti allergic medicin such ad allegra and lcd pls advice

Answered by Dr. Diptanshu Das (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Give any one of the two. Make him avoid cold temperatures.

Detailed Answer:
The raised IgE confirms the allergic nature of the problem. Montek LC will help in keeping the condition in control. Allegra is a good alternative to Montek LC. Allegra is a very good medicine. However, it is no use hopping about. Stick to whichever you choose.

You may get a blood allergy profile test done. The results will indicate what are the items to avoid.
