Allergies can significantly disrupt everyday life—whether they come from food, dust, pollen, medicines, or even weather changes. For both children and adults, undiagnosed allergies often manifest as recurring symptoms: itchy skin, watery eyes, stomach issues, cough, or breathing difficulty. Dr. Sunildatt P. Daru, a distinguished pediatrician and allergy expert, emphasizes that early allergy detection is crucial for effective long-term management.

In his clinic, Dr. Daru uses a combination of Skin Prick Tests, Blood IgE Tests, Patch Testing, and Pulmonary Function Tests (FOT) to accurately diagnose allergic conditions. These modern tools help identify the exact triggers causing the reaction, which makes treatment more precise.

For instance, a child who frequently sneezes during seasonal changes may be allergic to pollen or dust mites. Similarly, if a teenager gets itchy skin or stomach cramps after certain meals, it could be a food allergy. For adults, undiagnosed drug allergies may pose serious complications.

The goal of allergy testing isn’t just diagnosis—it’s prevention and quality of life. Once the triggers are known, Dr. Daru designs personalized management plans including lifestyle modifications, medications, and immunotherapy if required.

Parents also find great relief in understanding their child’s symptoms. Many children previously labeled as having chronic cold or bronchitis have shown immense improvement after a proper allergy diagnosis and tailored treatment.

Allergy testing is safe, minimally invasive, and often covered by health insurance. It’s especially beneficial for those with:

  • Asthma
  • Eczema or chronic rashes
  • Recurrent eye infections or watery eyes
  • Gastrointestinal issues
  • Unexplained fatigue or reactions to medications

Dr. Daru’s expertise in pediatric allergy makes him one of the most trusted names in Dadra and Nagar Haveli. His compassionate, evidence-based approach has benefited over 1,00,000 patients, earning him a reputation for quality care.
