Most people know the symptoms of an allergy. They are a common enough occurrence in modern life that most people have made aware of the signs to look for. But by having a thorough allergy test in Bangkok, you can also find out if you need to make adjustments to your lifestyle or diet.
The need to simply avoid allergens in your surroundings or food is the most common ways to deal with allergies. But until you know specifically what those allergens are that are causing your allergy symptoms, there is no way of knowing what to avoid.
The most common types of allergies are allergies to food, skin allergies and airborne allergies like pollen allergies.
Food allergies cause symptoms such as hives, skin itching, rashes, tingling or itching in the mouth, trouble breathing or congestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea or vomiting, dizziness or light-headedness, or any swelling of the lips, tongue, face, throat.
Skin allergies cause symptoms including hives, itchy skin, nasal congestion, rashes, a scratchy throat and watery or itchy eyes.
Airborne allergies cause many of the same symptoms as both food and skin allergies. Therefore, it’s almost impossible to correctly diagnose the source of an allergy from the symptoms it causes.
A thorough allergy test in a Bangkok hospital is the only way to provide a definite answer as to the cause of your allergy. You may suspect one or more allergens as being the culprits, but until you know for sure, you may be avoiding things that are perfectly safe and exposing yourself to things that can harm your health. Even worse, you could risk having even more severe symptoms like anaphylaxis, which is a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction.
An allergy test takes time. Your doctor will ask you questions that will determine the nature of your allergy, whether a food, skin or airborne allergy. These questions will explore your lifestyle, medical history and family history. Some people who have allergies have a family history of others who have had them as well.
Once the doctor has determined which type of allergy you’ll most likely have to undergo a blood test for food or airborne allergy, and patch test for skin allergy. Your doctor may ask you also to go an elimination diet if they think you may have a food allergy.
Allergy tests are designed to be conclusive in their results. And with the results of your test, the doctor will recommend either total avoidance of the allergen or a course of treatment.
