Suggest Treatment For Hypogammaglobinemia And Iron Deficiency
I have been told that I have Hypogammaglobinemia and iron deficiency anemia and IgE is a little high at 520. I am waiting 3 weeks now for IVIG treatment. begginiing last night I have been coughing and have post nasal drip and am coughing stuff up from my chest and I have asthma. I was told I am at risk for severe pnuemonia and am getting very nervous. My pulmonologist is swamped so I could not get in until 1 week from today, but when I called a few days ago I didnt have these symptoms.

Dear friend .. i understand your concern ... immunoglobulins are protective proteins in our blood ... so if their concentration is very low then we will be more prone to infections ... please consult your doctor soon and find out what is the cause for this !!! and later things can be corrected easily ... please take more of proteins like egg and fish ... fruits and green leafy vegetables ... you will be alright soon ... thank you
