Sinusitis
Pediatric Care
An allergist is trained to find the source of your symptoms, treat it and help you feel healthy. After earning a medical degree, the physician must complete a three-year residency-training program in either internal medicine or pediatrics. Then, an allergist completes two or three more years of study in the field of asthma, allergy and immunology.
Primary Care
If you are in a managed care plan, the referral from your Primary Care Physician must list the following procedures...

Eczema
Evaluation To find the source of your suffering, the allergist will review your symptoms, how often they occur and what triggers them. The evaluation will include: Medical History You will be asked about your health, your symptoms and whether members of your family have asthma or allergies such as hay fever, hives or skin rashes like eczema. Physical Examination Allergy tests and breathing tests. The allergist usually performs specific allergy skin tests to find out what triggers your symptoms. The allergist may test for pollens, molds, dust mites, animal dander, insect stings, various foods and drugs. In some cases, a blood test may be used intestad of a skin test. The allergist also may perform a test to measure how your lungs are working. This quick and easy breathing test is called spirometry. It measures how much air you can blow out of your lungs after taking a deep breath. Prevention Education The best way to treat allergies or asthma is to avoid the allergens that trigger your symptoms. When it is not possible to completely avoid allergens, an allergist can provide you with tips on how to decrease your exposure. Treatment Although avoiding the things that trigger your symptoms is one of the most effective strategies, there are a variety of medicines that treat both allergies and asthma. Allergists have the expertise to select the most effective ones for you. The allergist also can determine if you should consider allergy shots (immunotherapy). This treatment involves periodic injections with tiny amounts of an allergen. Immunotherapy can actually cure your allergy. Your reactions will become milder or can disappear entirely. Another treatment for serious allergic asthma, called anti-IgE, stops an allergic reaction before it begins, helping prevent asthma attacks by blocking what causes the reaction.
