About Allergy

Allergy management by an Internal Medicine specialist involves a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach to identify and treat hypersensitivity reactions. The process begins with a detailed medical history and physical examination, followed by specific allergy testing such as skin prick tests, blood tests (like specific IgE measurements), or patch tests to pinpoint allergens. Based on the results, the specialist develops a personalized treatment plan, which may include allergen avoidance strategies, pharmacotherapy (antihistamines, corticosteroids, leukotriene modifiers), and potentially allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots or sublingual tablets) for long-term desensitization. This holistic care focuses on controlling symptoms, preventing severe reactions like anaphylaxis, and improving the patient's overall quality of life by managing conditions such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, eczema, and food or drug allergies.

How to prepare

Discontinue antihistamines (as advised by the doctor, typically for 3-7 days) prior to skin testing to avoid false-negative results.

Bring a list of all current medications, supplements, and previous allergy test results.

Small risk of a systemic allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis, though this is rare and testing is conducted in a controlled medical setting.
Minor bleeding or bruising at the site of a blood draw.
Potential for false-positive or false-negative test results, requiring clinical correlation.
Discomfort or flare-up of underlying skin conditions during patch testing.

Recovery & hospital stay

Patients can usually resume normal activities immediately after testing, unless a significant reaction occurs.
Apply cool compresses or prescribed topical creams to alleviate itching from positive skin reactions.
Avoid scratching the test sites to prevent infection or worsening of the reaction.
Follow-up appointment is scheduled to review all test results and discuss the finalized long-term management plan.
