Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
This IgE result for 3 year child is normal. IgE antibodies are normally elevated in cases of allergic diseases such as asthma, chronic allergic rhinitis etc. However in small number of asthmatic patients this test can be normal.
So all togethar chances of asthma in your child is very less. It should be a normal rhinitis or bronchitis . Normal IgE levels does not completely rule out asthma.
refer to your padatrician
hope this helps
