Allergy Testing and Immunotherapy: Pulmonologists sometimes do allergy tests to find out what’s causing breathing problems like asthma, runny or stuffy nose from allergies, or a long-lasting cough. Common triggers include pollen, dust mites, mold, pet hair, or even certain foods.
The tests may involve:
- A skin prick(small scratches on the skin to see if there’s a reaction)
- A small injection under the skin
- A blood testto check your immune response
Once they know the triggers, they might suggest allergy treatment such as allergy shots or tablets under the tongue. This treatment slowly exposes your body to tiny amounts of the allergen so your immune system learns to tolerate it.
The aim is to reduce your symptoms, cut down on medicines, and keep your breathing healthier in the long run.
