What Is an Allergist?
An allergist, or immunologist, is a doctor who specializes in treating allergies, asthma, and immune disorders. Allergists can identify your allergens with tests and assess your risk for life-threatening allergic reactions. They are experienced in treating allergies, asthma, sinus problems, and immunodeficiency disorders.
Do I Need an Allergist?
You may be referred to an allergist if you have had an allergic reaction or are suffering from seasonal allergies. If you have asthma or frequent sinus infections, an allergist can also help you. Seeing a specialist ensures you get comprehensive care for your allergies or asthma. Learn about your triggers for asthma or allergic reactions and the best way to ease your symptoms.
What Are the Benefits of Seeing an Allergist?
An allergist can help you with:
- Allergy testing - Allergists conduct blood and skin-prick tests to determine what substances cause reactions so you know what you are allergic to.
- Teaching you how to avoid allergens and how to treat your reaction if you do have an exposure.
