WHAT IS ALLERGY TESTING AND TREATMENT?
Continuous coughing, sneezing, a runny nose, and itchy, watery eyes are common symptoms of allergies that millions of Americans suffer from. These uncomfortable symptoms can be challenging to manage and often have a negative impact on an individual’s daily life. Dr. Rachit Marwaha and his team are extensively trained in allergy testing and treatment. They can administer a test that checks for dozens of common allergens. If you’re tired of sneezing through life, contact Naperville Internist in Naperville, IL to learn more about how Dr. Marwaha can help diagnose and treat your allergies.
HOW IS ALLERGY TESTING PERFORMED?
Allergy testing is performed in a private treatment room in our Naperville, IL practice. Dr. Marwaha will review your symptoms, allergy triggers, and medical history. Using the skin prick testing technique, our team can test for as many as 72 different allergens. This test is usually performed on your arm. During a skin prick test, the skin on your forearm will be pricked, and a small amount of a substance will be inserted. Dr. Marwaha will then observe the area to see if any swelling or itching occurs, indicating an allergic reaction. Allergy testing typically takes about an hour.
After gathering the results, Dr. Marwaha will discuss treatment options. Immunotherapy is the preferred method for treating allergies at Naperville Internist. This therapy exposes a patient to small doses of an allergen and gradually increases the amount. The body gradually adjusts to the allergen and becomes less sensitive to it, reducing symptoms in the future. Dr. Marwaha may also recommend medicinal teas to help reduce uncomfortable allergy symptoms.
