Allergy Testing
Allergy Testing helps identify specific allergens that trigger allergic reactions in patients. For ENT conditions such as allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and nasal polyps, identifying the causative allergens is key to effective long-term management.
Our clinic offers comprehensive allergy testing to guide personalized treatment and allergen avoidance strategies.
What is Allergy Testing?
Allergy testing involves exposing the patient to small amounts of suspected allergens and measuring the body's immune response. The most common methods include skin prick testing and specific IgE blood tests (RAST). Results help identify triggers such as dust mites, pollen, mold, pet dander, and food allergens.
