Allergy Testing & Treatment
What is An Allergic Reaction?
Pollen, dust mites, molds, and pets are all common allergies that many suffer from. Occasionally, your body can mistakenly identify these as a threat. The body produces antibodies to try to fight off the threat and it is these antibodies that produce reactions. Depending on the allergen, you can have sneezing, swollen eyes, or a runny nose.
How do we Test Allergies?
Skin prick testing can be done on pediatric and adult patients and it is the most common allergy test performed. This test is simple and safe with results provided within 15-20 minutes. This will give you the opportunity to receive a diagnosis and management plan during your appointment.
