Allergy and frequent cold

2018-08-21 17:00:25
I hv post nasal drip for 2 yrs. I frequently get cold and runny nose which doesn't go for atleast 15 days. Also lot of mucus comes out through nose and throat, need to clear several times a day. Smtimes I also feel heartburn and vomiting. Visited Gastroenterologist and ENT but no relief. Now visited Pulmonologist, suggested some tests. Remark in x ray chest pa as "prominent bronchovascular markings on both sides" and "few ill defined nodular opacities scattered in both lungs". As per blood tests, eosinophils count is high (8.8) and IgE count is also high (643). I have next appointment with pulmonologist in next week. Taking advised medicines till the time. But is this very serious? Any urgency of immediate action? Am I suffering with serious desease?

no your not. these reports just mean you have an allergy problem. not anything serious. you might want to check if you have a deviated nasal septum(DNS). also stay away from triggers like dust, cold drinks and food etc, that makes you start a cold or any breathing problem.
