Once you learn what you are allergic to, you will be able to work with your allergist to develop a plan to reduce your symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The first thing to do is see a board-certified allergist, who will do the following:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>review your health history and your family\u2019s health history<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ask about the frequency and severity of your symptoms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ask what activities might expose you to allergens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ask about your home and work environments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>perform a physical exam of your eyes, ears, nose and lungs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your allergist may recommend allergy testing. Allergy testing will be used to pinpoint which allergens are affecting you. A positive test reveals you are sensitized to a particular allergen. The allergist will then put all the evidence together to reach a diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider taking the <a href=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/images\/Misc\/rhinitis-control-assessment-test.pdf\"><strong>Rhinitis Control Assessment Test <\/strong><\/a>before you visit your doctor. The test will look for clues to whether you have allergic rhinitis, or nasal allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image230167_4e4927-cf .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image230167_4e4927-cf size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Woman-park-spring-1080x567.jpg\" alt=\"A person with long hair smiles at the camera while standing outdoors.

Raised bumps (about the size of a mosquito bite) strongly indicate an allergy to that substance. Results are typically known within 20 minutes. Skin prick tests are used most often because of accuracy, ease of use and immediate results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blood tests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blood tests are chemical tests that detect Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. These antibodies circulate in your blood for specific allergens. Lab results may take days. Blood tests are often used for patients with skin sensitivities or medication requirements that prevent skin testing. Tests may measure specific or overall levels of IgE. Some tests also break down common allergens and measure IgE to specific components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How accurate is allergy testing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Skin and blood tests are very accurate in showing a sensitivity to a particular environmental allergen. A positive result, though, doesn\u2019t mean that you will develop symptoms when exposed to the allergen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to work with a board-certified allergist. An allergist will know how to put your test results together with your personal history to make an accurate diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I expect if I undergo allergy testing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Careful, thorough, knowledgeable and evidence-based care that includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A complete history of your allergy symptoms and allergies in your family<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Appropriate allergy tests: skin or blood tests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Properly interpreted test results by a board-certified allergist<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any other tests, such as a physical exam, that are necessary<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A detailed treatment plan that consists of allergen avoidance, possible medication, and\/or immunotherapy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column230167_ed8fbd-d0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:20px;padding-right:20px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:20px;}.kadence-column230167_ed8fbd-d0 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column230167_ed8fbd-d0 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:20px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:20px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column230167_ed8fbd-d0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column230167_ed8fbd-d0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column230167_ed8fbd-d0 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column230167_ed8fbd-d0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-color:#025d86;}.kadence-column230167_ed8fbd-d0 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column230167_ed8fbd-d0{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column230167_ed8fbd-d0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column230167_ed8fbd-d0 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column230167_ed8fbd-d0 kb-section-has-link\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-theme-palette-9-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e19d34804b68b6bdc80108edcc24de82\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/allergyasthmanetwork.org\/news\/ask-the-allergist-allergy-retesting\/\"><strong>Ask the Allergist: how often should I be retested for allergies?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><a href=\"\/news\/ask-the-allergist-allergy-retesting\/\" class=\"kb-section-link-overlay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are my expenses for allergy testing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before scheduling an allergy testing appointment with an allergist, check your medical policy to ensure you understand your insurance benefits.
