Please tell me recommendations for getting an allergy test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Identification : Allergy testing is indicated for the evaluation of patients who have year round nasal symptoms, asthma symptoms, severe bee sting reactions, symptoms after eating foods in an attempt to identify the specific allergen trigger so it can be avoided if possible. Also, allergy testing is necessary before considering allergy shots so the right allergens are included.
