An allergist is a physician trained in general medicine or pediatrics who underwent additional training in allergy and immune system diseases.
Allergists specialize in such conditions as hay fever. Common symptoms of hay fever include itching in the eyes and nose and sneezing. Allergists also treat asthma, food and drug allergies and even some types of skin rashes, for instance, hives or eczema. They also examine patients with a weakened immune systems; these patients are usually prone to recurrent infections.
If you suspect that your symptoms are caused by a specific factor: animal dander during the shedding period, a specific type of food or medication, – contact an allergist. The doctor will help you understand what caused the allergy. You will realize why your nose is runny or congested and why your asthma intensifies during a certain season. If you have a rash, you will find out why it appeared. When you learn the source of your symptoms, you will be able to take corresponding measures. Then you will feel better.
You should also contact an allergist if the typical symptoms of a cold including a runny or congested nose, persist all the year round. Acute respiratory infections are known to clear up quickly. This means that your symptoms may indicate not a common cold but an allergy.
An allergist will help you find the initial cause of your symptoms and feel better. Besides, allergists possess the newest data on allergies and immune system diseases. The specialist will share the important information with you and recommend the most advanced treatment methods.
