A member asked:

What is the allergist going to do when i come in for first appt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Allergist: The allergist will go over your symptoms and test you according to what you are presenting with. A prick skin test and/or intradermal skin tests are performed to test for a variety of environmental and food allergens. They check your breathing if you have asthma and can guide your treatment according to your triggers.
