Brief Answer:
Please stop Ayurvedic and allopathic treatment because they might worsen si

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in Ask the Doctor

I can understand your concern

I saw carefully the lab test results. I can say that only IgE and alt and ast were in high value. In my opinion I strongly suggest you just to take medication that your doctor has prescribed you. You are taking antihistamines and anti IgE monoclonal antibody which are specific to fight high IgE levels which means allergy. Please don't confound this medication with Ayurvedic or allopathic treatment. You explain that itching is getting better and with continuing the medications.it will disappear .

Hope to have been helpful

Thanks Doctor for your reply. Is IgE 650 IU/ml a dangerous level?. What should I be aware of? Will this never be cured? Even though I had taken for a month steroid and anti histamine why is it still showing high? Are the medication didn't work.. As I am taking Allegra 180 mg Morning and Afternoon Atarax 25mg Night bed time Is this two tablet sufficient enough to reduce IgE level. Can't Urticaria go away without medicine. . Worried more if I ever be cured or if I end up anaphylatic shock ? Should I change the medication or increase the dose? How often should I go and check IgE level like every 10days ? Please answer me all my questions and also any other medicine should I take..as I am having burning and pricking sensation. Thanks in advance doctor.
