ALLERGY DEPARTMENT

TESTING INFORMATION
The ear, nose and throat problems of many of our patients are due to allergic responses to common inhalants breathed from the air.

Your physician may recommend that allergy testing be carried out, which consists of skin tests to the common inhalant allergens we are exposed to in this area.  Prick testing is used as a screening test and then further intradermal testing is done to determine the degree of allergy you may have to each specific inhalant.  This is putting the problem into simple terms.

Skin testing is performed by our Allergy Coordinator, Mrs. Debbie Fisher, MLT (ASCP), CMA (AAMA), here in our office.  In selected cases, your doctor may recommend a vaccine be prepared and a series of injections be given to try to improve your symptoms.
