Charleston Allergy Doctor | What You Should Know About Allergy Testing <\/span><\/h1>\n

Charleston Allergy Doctor |<\/a> Allergies can be minor and only flare<\/span>–<\/span>up in the summer or after someone cuts their lawn, but some people have terrible allergies and suffer all year round<\/span>. Allergies aren\u2019t limited to just runny noses, itchy eyes, and a cough<\/span>,<\/span> however. Some people experience abdominal pain or digestive issues after eating foods they are allergic to; others break out in a skin rash called hives<\/span>, and other<\/span>s<\/span> have severe reactions to insect bites and stings. <\/span>No matter what your allergy symptoms are though, it can be a real pain trying to figure out what is causing them. Luckily, a Charleston allergy doctor can help you with allergy testing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Types of Allergy Testing<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Charleston allergy doctors may have their preferred way to determine allergy triggers<\/span>. There are a few different types of allergy testing that your Charleston allergy doctor may suggest. <\/span><\/p>\n

Skin Testing-<\/span> The most common allergy testing is doing a skin patch test. This test is relatively easy and involves trace amount<\/span>s<\/span> of <\/span>different allergens being placed onto a patch of skin which is then lightly scratched. <\/span>The s<\/span>welling will happen if the patient is allergic to the allergen on their skin. <\/span>The results of this test are available almost immediately. <\/span><\/p>\n

Intradermal Tests-<\/span> If a skin test is inconclusive, an intradermal test can be used<\/span>. The allergen is injected under the skin to see if any reaction takes place that way. <\/span><\/p>\n

Challenge Tests-<\/span> If your Charleston allergy doctor suspects you may have food allergy<\/span> the doctor will ask you to ingest small amounts of the food under supervision. The Charleston allergy doctor will monitor your reaction. Make sure never to try this at home alone. <\/span><\/p>\n

Blood Tests-<\/span> <\/span>When all other options fail, or if your insurance covers the blood work, a blood test can be the most accurate way of testing for allergies. Blood tests are often more expensive than other methods<\/span>,<\/span> and results can take longer to receive. <\/span><\/p>\n

Elimination-<\/span> The opposite of the challenge test is the elimination diet. During this diet<\/span>,<\/span> you will stop eating certain foods that you think maybe triggering your symptoms. <\/span>Your Charleston allergy doctor will help you know how many and which foods can be eliminated at the same time, but if your symptoms get better after you <\/span>remov<\/span>e a <\/span>particular<\/span> food, you\u2019ll <\/span>see<\/span> what you\u2019re allergic to. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re struggling to pinpoint your <\/span>allergies, let your Charleston allergy doctor at <\/span>National Allergy & ENT<\/span><\/a> at 843-285-6578. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
