How do I know if I have an allergy? – When to get testing You may have a cold when you have teary eyes or nasal congestion. However, you may have an allergy if you only feel ill when you’re outside, around pets, or eat particular foods. Some allergy sufferers sneeze excessively or develop hives or rashes that do not extend to other body parts. Get more information and allergy testing in Edinburgh at Newington Pharmacy and Travel Clinic. On the other hand, other individuals may have such a severe allergic reaction that they experience breathing difficulties and may require immediate medical attention. It’s important to note if you have any allergies so that you can avoid the substances that cause them, known as allergens, and seek medicine if necessary. Consult an allergist, a specialist who is well-versed in allergies if you have an allergy that’s not eased by over-the-counter drugs or suspect you have an allergy to certain foods. They’ll inquire about your general well-being and any asthma or allergy history in your family. They will also assess you and suggest a few tests to confirm your suspicions. Allergy Testing Edinburgh What is the best way to get allergy tested and where can I get allergy testing near me in Edinburgh? A skin prick test is the most popular approach to check for allergies. This is due to the fact that it provides the quickest and most precise results. Mould, fur, pollen, pet skin, foods as well as some medicines are common allergens. At Newington Pharmacy and Travel Clinic, we conduct the following tests. Blood Tests If you’re taking medication that could alter your allergy test results, have had a negative reaction to a skin test or have sensitive skin, your doctor may recommend a blood test instead. A blood sample is submitted to the lab, and the results are returned to your doctor after several days. A blood test is usually less expensive than a skin test.
