What are Allergy Doctors?

An allergy & immunology specialist is a physician who is specially trained in matters pertaining to chronic and acute allergies as well as deficiencies of the immune system. The doctor will determine whether an allergy, which attacks a person'simmune system, is present and determine the cause, whether it be environmental triggers like trees and pollen, food-borne like peanuts and dairy, the venom of insects like bees, or a medication like penicillin.

In addition to determining the allergen causing an immunological response in a patient, the specialist will treat the symptoms caused by the reaction.

Some of the allergen-caused conditions that an allergy & immunology specialist will treat include:

  • itchy, red eyes
  • itchy, runny nose
  • eczema
  • hay fever
  • hives
  • asthma
  • anaphylaxis (severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction)
