IgE levels will be elevated in allergic conditions..
U have allergic rhinitis.. For every allergy some precipitating factors will be there, you have to observe what is precipitating your symptoms like climate, food, dust, travelling.. try to avoid the precipitating factor...
U can take Tab. Montek LC 0-0-1 if you have cold and nasal block..
