An allergy test, also known as an allergy assessment, is a diagnostic process used to determine an individual’s sensitivity or allergic reaction to specific substances. It helps identify the triggers that cause allergic symptoms such as sneezing, itching, hives, difficulty breathing, or even severe reactions like anaphylaxis. Allergy testing should be conducted by a specialized physician who has expertise in managing allergic conditions. Accurate test results and proper diagnosis enable the physician to recommend appropriate treatment based on the test findings and the patient’s medical history.
