Allergy Test

Symptoms may differ based on the organs affected during an allergic reaction.

The signs are similar to that of a cold, such as sneezing, coughing and an itchy nose.

When your eyes come in contact with allergens, the common symptoms include redness, itching and watering of the eyes.

The symptoms include wheezing, breathlessness and a tight chest.

Itching, red swelling around areas such as the mouth, lips and eyes, rashes and eczema are signs of skin allergies.

Some common signs of a negative reaction to allergens in food include nausea, vomiting, dizziness and swelling of the tongue and throat.

In severe cases, individuals may suffer from a life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. 

The symptoms manifest in the form of constricted airways, a swollen throat, a rapid pulse and a drop in blood pressure. They may also lose consciousness. 

In such cases, immediate medical attention is required. If left untreated, it may result in death.

These are the four main types of allergies that will be tested at our clinic.

The consumption of certain food can trigger a negative response from the immune system.

Pollen is the main cause of this form of allergy. It takes place during a change of season when pollen becomes airborne and is inhaled.

Allergens in animals can be found in their saliva, fur coat and skin. The skin that these animals shed is also referred to as animal dander.

This form of allergy can be caused by breathing in or having physical contact with the allergens.

Dust and pollen trapped in animal coats can also be sources of an allergic reaction. In such cases, you are not allergic to the animal itself but the substances found in their fur.

Dust mites are tiny insects that feed on human skin cells. They are one of the most common causes of this medical condition and the reaction occurs when the creatures are inhaled.

The allergy tests available at our clinic are in the form of IgE blood tests (multi-array blood test) which diagnoses both food and inhalant allergies.

The allergens are identified through allergen-specific IgE antibodies that are produced by the immune system. Each IgE antibody will react to the respective foreign substance if they are present in your blood samples.

You can choose from single or multiple panels of tests after sharing your symptoms during a consultation with our ENT specialist.
