An Allergy Clinic is a specialized place where we diagnose and treat allergic diseases like asthma, allergic rhinitis, skin rashes, food allergies, and more.

 How do we diagnose allergy?

  • By taking a detailed history of your symptoms.
  • Performing Allergy Skin Testing – a safe and simple method where small amounts of allergen extracts (like dust mite, pollen, animal dander, foods) are applied on the skin.
  •  The test shows which allergens are triggering your symptoms.
     

    What causes allergy?

  • Allergies are caused when your immune system overreacts to harmless substances in the environment, producing antibodies.
    Common allergens include:
  • Dust mites
  • Pollens
  • Animal dander
  • Foods

 What is Immunotherapy?

Allergen Immunotherapy is the only disease-modifying treatment for allergies.
Unlike medicines that just control symptoms, immunotherapy changes the way your immune system reacts to allergens.

It can be given in 3 forms:

  •  Sublingual (SLIT): Drops or tablets under the tongue
  • Subcutaneous (SCIT): Injections at regular intervals
     

 Benefits of Immunotherapy:

  •  Long-term relief from symptoms
  • Reduces the need for medicines
  • Prevents progression of allergic rhinitis to asthma
  •  Treats the root cause of allergy
     

    Don’t just manage allergy symptoms.Identify the cause. Treat the root. Live allergy-free.
