Have Hives At Night, Swelling Of Lips. Taking Telfast. Feel Dizzy. Have High IgE. What To Do?
I am a Zimbabwean aged 44 yrs. My Doctor told me in February that my IGE is very high. I develop hives at night. Sometimes my face ( lips especially) swell at night and in the morning the swell disappears. When i take citirizine the attck is sgnificantly reduced. I am currently taking telfast but the problem does not disppear. I was referred to a specialist physician here in Zimbabwe and told me that there is nothing he can do except to precribe antihistamines. I sometimes feel dizzy. I do not know what to do.
You have increased IgE. It means you're hypersensitive to certain external agent for which you're developing allergic reactions. All the treatment provided will only be symptomatic. The best way to get rid of the problem is to identify the allergen and avoiding it. The other method of treatment is to desensitise you for known allergens.
