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
