Brief Answer:
Features suggestive of sinus infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello

My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. the report you mentioned states that there is inflammation of sinuses. when there is infection of sinuses then at the same time there is hypertrophy of mucose present in nose(turbinates) which results in increased size causing difficulty in breathing and fullness. all these symptoms are treatable and requires prescription antibiotics. following geneal measures will also help in smooth recovery:

- take warm water in a cup and add 1 tsf salt in it, perform mouth wash(gargles) with it thrice a day for 3 days.
- take hot water in a pot and place it infront of you. cover the pot and your head with a sheet and take deep breaths over the steam. this will give soothing effect.
- cetirizine one at night for 3 days

AVOID:
dust
drinks
spicy and junk food


Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!

Brief Answer:
Raised IgE are in allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thank you for the followup query.

Raised IgE levels usually are present in allergic/viral infection. There is quite possibility that these labs are due to your current symptoms. As soon as they are treated, labs will automatically get back to normal limits.

Thank You
