Allergies are one of the most common diseases worldwide. Allergy is a special form of response to allergens that enter the body through barrier tissues. Allergology studies specialized hypersensitivity, which provokes immunological inflammatory reactions. To eliminate unhealthy manifestations, you need to contact allergists. Doctors accept patients both in private allergology clinics and in hospital departments.

When should I contact an allergist-immunologist?

Allergology and immunology are interrelated medical industries. An allergist-immunologist treats pathologies associated with the malfunctioning of the immune system. You need to see this doctor with:

problems with breathing, suffocation;
dry cough reflex;
sneezing;
discharge from the nasal passages;
lacrimation, conjunctivitis, swelling of the eyelids;
skin rashes, urticaria;
nausea, diarrhea.

Note! The term “allergy” comes from the Greek language and means “other exposure”.

Unhealthy symptoms appear at certain periods of the year if a person has seasonal allergies. If a patient suffers from pathological symptoms year-round, then irritants are constantly close to the patient.

allergic conjunctivitis;
dermatosis;

One of the most dangerous allergic reactions is Quincke's edema. The condition threatens the patient's life, it is accompanied by swelling of the tongue, face, swelling of the larynx, which provokes an attack of suffocation.

Diagnostics

studies the patient’s history, examines him;
collects skin samples for certain allergens;
tests the patient’s breathing.

Specific diagnostic methods include bronchoscopy, spirometry.

Allergy Tests

In order to correctly identify the allergen, the doctor needs the results of analyzes of the patient's biological materials. The doctor prescribes the following studies:

analysis of blood serum to determine antibodies;
bacterial blood culture;
analysis of feces for dysbiosis;
serological and molecular tests to detect concomitant infections (bacterial, viral, parasitic);
determination of the susceptibility of the body to antibacterial, antimycotic and other types of drugs.

A comprehensive medical examination is also necessary: a doctor tests the reactions of natural inhibition of leukocytes in the oral cavity, makes a sampling of the discharge from the nasal passages, eyeballs, auricles.

Allergy treatment

The main method of treating allergic reactions is to avoid contact with malaise provocateurs. In most cases, this is not possible, therefore medication is required. An allergist prescribes various drugs based on the clinical picture of the disease:
