Allergology: Precise Diagnosis, Lasting Relief
Allergology is the medical specialty that evaluates hypersensitivity of the immune system and its impact on the nose, lungs, skin, and gut. Specialists investigate why the body misidentifies harmless substances—like pollens, dust mites, pet dander, foods, or drugs—as threats and then crafts a plan to prevent symptoms and reduce long-term risk. Care typically begins with a detailed history (seasonality, home/work exposures, travel, pets, and comorbidities such as asthma or sinusitis), followed by targeted testing to pinpoint triggers. Management blends avoidance strategies, pharmacotherapy (antihistamines, intranasal steroids, leukotriene modifiers, biologics), and disease-modifying options such as subcutaneous or sublingual immunotherapy. Both adults and children benefit, from controlling chronic rhinitis and hives to preventing severe reactions and improving sleep, school/work performance, and quality of life.

Q: When should someone see an allergology doctor?
A: If nasal or eye symptoms persist for more than 4 weeks each year; if there is wheeze, night cough, or exercise-induced breathlessness; recurrent hives lasting over 6 weeks; eczema not controlled with routine care; suspected reactions to foods, drugs, or insect stings; a past episode of anaphylaxis; frequent sinus or ear infections linked to allergies; or interest in long-term options like immunotherapy. Early evaluation is also advised before moving, getting a new pet, or planning pregnancy when allergies are active.
