What conditions do allergists treat?

Allergists treat various conditions that affect several areas of your body, including the respiratory system, eyes, stomach, and skin. When your immune system has an aggressive response to allergens you ingest, inhale, or touch, it can lead to symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and itchy or watery eyes. More severe reactions can lead to inflammation, hives, asthma, and even death. Some of these conditions include:severe allergic reactions to medications, food, plants, animals, and insect bitesasthma and sinusitisautoimmune diseasescontact dermatitis and eczemagastrointestinal disordershay fever and allergic rhinitis

What procedures do allergists perform?

Some of the most common procedures allergists perform are diagnostic tests. An allergist can identify the substance responsible for triggering an exaggerated response in your immune system by introducing small amounts of potential allergens to you. Your allergist may even conduct a blood test, which detects and measures the presence of allergens in your blood.

When should I go to an allergist?

Problems with your immune system can be serious and life threatening.Your immune system might not be functioning as it should if you’re often sick, suffering from asthma, or experiencing bad allergic reactions. Watch your symptoms closely, and if they persist or grow more severe, you should consider a visit to an allergist.

What can I expect from my first allergist appointment?

Your allergist may also ask about any medications you take to manage your condition.If the cause of a reaction is unknown, your allergist may conduct tests to measure your body’s response to different allergens.
