Hi Jayla,

 

Allergy testing depends on what the doctor thinks you might be allergic to. Here is some general information that might give you what you need to ask all the right questions when you see your doctor.

 

There is a great overview here about what allergies are, what they do to your system, some of the causes of allergic reactions, symptoms, treatments available and testing to confirm the diagnosis and determine the cause. Once you have been diagnosed with allergies, your doctor may prescribe medications to help control some of the symptoms and inflammation. You can read about medications commonly prescribed here in the drugs database.

 

I hope this gives you what you need to ask all the right questions. Stay in touch and let us know what the doctor says!
