Many people are allergic to many food and drug items. Previous tests for allergies were cumbersome and even dangerous.
Now you can do a phadiatop test by giving your blood sample and get to know the allergens, which you have to avoid ingesting in the future.
Next Steps
Depending on the severity of the allergy which may vary between simple itching and urticaria to severe breathlessness and fall of blood pressure/Anaphylactic shock which is a medical emergency, you may be prescribed simple anti-histaminic tablets/prophylactic anti allergic tablets ( des loratidine, fexofenadine etc/sodium cromoglycate ) Or emergency hospital admission respectively.
Health Tips
Needless to say you have to avoid taking the specific allergens or use a filtered mask if you have allergies to substances which are inhaled like dust mites or pollution, perhaps along with a newer anti histaminic drug.
For anaphylactic shock you will require intravenous fluids infusion, intravenous steroids or intramuscular adrenaline and bronchodilator nebulisation in a hospital.
In any case consult a doctor.
