Patient: Hi I have had painful headaches lately and I think it s caused from my ears always feels like its full of liquid in there I have allergies so I take the nasal spray for that and I m waiting to go see the ear n throat specialist but that s takin a while how can I keep clear from gettin the headaches Doctor: Hello, Welcome to HCM, The allergic manifestations can result in wide range of symptoms from generalized hives to Anasarca. You have to confirm first that whether you are having allergic reaction by testing for absolute eosinophil count (AEC) and then you need to identify the allergen causing these symptoms. The allergen should be identified by skin prick test. After identifying the allergen then we can decide the further mode of treatment. Immunotherapy can be considered is there is a known allergen. Thank you.
