What to Expect During Allergy Testing
Prior to allergy testing, you will meet with a specialist to discuss your symptoms, medical history, family history, and other factors that will help to determine which allergy test to use. Patients may also be asked to stop using certain medications in the days before testing.
Allergy Shots & Biologics
Allergy shots and biologics are used to treat patients with a wide range of chronic conditions, including allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, stinging insects hypersensitivity, rhinoconjunctivitis, rhinosinusitis and eosinophilic esophagitis. These treatments are usually only recommended for patients with serious symptoms that have not improved with lifestyle changes and medications.
