CLINIC
This site of allergy is created not to confuse you by providing tons & tons of knowledge regarding allergy, but simply make you move from ALLERGY TO ENERGY. Get yourself cured of allergy in majority of allergic diseases. When cure is not possible then control your symptoms in such a way that your life becomes healthy & happy again. STEP 1 : Believing in yourself that you can get rid of Allergy and enjoy life again without taking medicines like Antihistamines, Decongestants, Nasal Sprays, Inhalers, bronchodilators, steroids & what not on day to day basis. This believing will empower you to move forward towards step 2 & step 3

STEP 2 : Here I will have to enroll you in something great & real. Suppose you have fever and you take Paracetamol (Metacin), your fever will subside for few hours. Then it will come again, you can take Paracetamol again & get relief for few more hours. Will it cure your disease? Will it even 1% stop the progress of your disease. ? Absolutely not. Here you go to your doctor ,get yourself tested to find out exact cause of fever viral fever, malaria, enteric, bacterial infection, jaundice a long list. Ultimately You take exact medicine according to the diagnosis & get yourself cured. This really makes sense. But in Allergy what is usual scenario-Patients go on taking anti allergic medicines, sprays, inhalers, bronchodilators etc for days, weeks, months and in majority of cases years. Why not to go for finding out cause? Here the Step 2 is to find out the Allergen (allergy causing substance) by SKIN PRICK ALLERGY TESTING - widely used test throughout the world as it is Speedy, more Specific, Practically Painless, Economical, Reproducible & Reliable, done by qualified Allergy Specialist by himself in front of patient. (No complicated equipments - No machine errors). Forget about all other tests if skin prick test is available and possible. STEP 3 : So now you have won half the battle by finding out allergen. What next? A Simply avoid the allergen and you are cured. No allergen exposure No symptoms. B In majority of cases allergens avoidance is practically impossible. What to do here ? Get vaccine prepared for that specific allergen by your allergy specialist & complete the course, known as ALLERGEN SPECIFIC IMMUNOTHERAPY. Over a period of time your body will become immune (strong enough) so that on further exposure to that Allergen no symptoms occur or very less symptoms occur. Thanks for reading & now move from " ALLERGY TO ENERGY " by taking these three simple basic steps

Why Skin Prick Testing and not blood testing to find out allergen?
(1) First & foremost is reliability, practically all standard textbooks of Allergy say that confirm report of positive allergens (blood tests) by skin prick test before going for further treatment. Then why not to go directly for Skin Prick Testing?
(2) Collection of blood sample, proper labeling, proper transport (maintaining cold chain),latest well serviced equipment, well trained staff ....play a major role in reliability of report, human error and machine error play significant role.
(3) Skin Prick Allergy Testing is done by Allergy Specialist himself in front of patient and relative with the same allergens which show positivity in other patients on day to day basis.
(4) Allergens available for blood testing are not those prevalent in local area as many kits are imported e.g. certain pollens prevalent in our country are not present in the testing kit and many are present which are not even in our country so it is meaningless exercise in many cases.
(5) Many blood testing advocates frighten patients of reaction in skin prick testing, but now a days with good allergen extracts and prick method instead of intradermal injection method it has become rare.
(6) When patient himself/herself sees swelling and redness over skin it convinces him/her along with treating Allergologist regarding positive allergens, so he/she becomes ready for immunotherapy.
(7) Skin Prick Testing is a very gentle superficial prick where even blood don't comes out so it is not painful. Even children easily allow to perform testing.
(8) Reports are faster i.e. with in few hours. Blood report may take many days or weeks if carried out in distant big laboratories..usual scenario
(9) Skin Prick Testing is cheaper
(10) Lastly in blood testing different groups are made of allergens and they are tested together so sometimes positivity to single allergen is not known.

Jago Wake up Be alert
Season of pollen especially Holoptelea( kanji.palpaliyo) has begun 4-5 days - typical sneezing, watering nose, itching nose + eye symptoms + lassitude + sometimes heaviness chest coughing & occ. breathlessness
One bad thing severe symptoms
One good thing will immediately end by the March end or April 1st week as it’s late by one week this year
Another good thing is that testing after completion of season & immunotherapy helps in good control from next year
Stay indoors take anti allergic treatment & go for testing by skin prick after season is over
As such blood tests r less reliable & blood test kits don’t have holoptelea to test
