About Allergy & Immunology Doctors

Conditions Treated by an Allergist

Allergic Rhinitis

Inflammation of the nasal passages triggered by allergens — dust mites, pollen, mould, or pet dander. Affects 20-30% of Indians.

Allergic Asthma

Asthma triggered by specific allergens rather than exercise or cold air. Most common form of asthma in India.

Food Allergies

Immune reaction to specific foods — milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, and shellfish are common triggers.

Drug Allergies

Adverse immune reactions to medications — antibiotics (penicillin), NSAIDs, and contrast dyes are common triggers.

Chronic Urticaria (Hives)

Recurring itchy welts lasting more than 6 weeks, often without an identifiable trigger.

Allergy Management Tips

  • Identify and avoid your triggers
  • Use dust-proof covers on mattresses and pillows
  • Keep windows closed during high pollen seasons
  • Read food labels carefully if you have food allergies
  • Carry your emergency medication always

How to Prepare for Your Allergist Visit

Before Your Visit

  • Stop antihistamines 3-5 days before visit if allergy testing is planned (ask when booking)
  • Keep a symptom diary — note when symptoms occur, potential triggers, and what helps
  • List all medications including nasal sprays, eye drops, and inhalers
  • Note any severe allergic reactions in the past — what triggered them and what treatment was given

During the Appointment

  • Describe your home environment — carpets, pets, air conditioning, visible mould
  • Mention occupational exposures — chemicals, dust, flour, latex
  • Ask about allergen-proofing your bedroom — this is where you spend 8 hours daily
  • Discuss an action plan for severe reactions — especially if you have food or drug allergies

After the Visit

  • Implement allergen avoidance measures recommended by your doctor
  • Use nasal sprays and inhalers with correct technique — incorrect use wastes medication
  • Wear a medical alert bracelet if you have severe drug or food allergies
  • Follow up for immunotherapy schedule if recommended — requires regular visits for months

Questions to Ask Your Allergist

  1. 1.Should I get allergy testing to identify my triggers?
  2. 2.Is immunotherapy (allergy shots) an option for me?
  3. 3.Could my symptoms be non-allergic?
  4. 4.Do I need to carry an epinephrine auto-injector?
  5. 5.Can my child outgrow this allergy?
  6. 6.How do I manage allergies during pregnancy?

When Should You See an Allergist?

An Allergist (Allergy & Immunology specialist) diagnoses and treats allergies, asthma, and immune system disorders.

  • Recurring allergic rhinitis not controlled with antihistamines
  • Asthma triggered by allergies
  • Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) history
  • Food allergies — diagnosis and management
  • Chronic hives (urticaria) lasting more than 6 weeks
  • Drug allergy evaluation
  • Recurrent infections suggesting immune deficiency

If you've had anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction with throat swelling or breathing difficulty), always carry an epinephrine auto-injector.
