What does an allergist do and when to visit him/her

 Allergists of the Dobrobut Medical Center have specialized knowledge and experience in the detection and treatment of allergic diseases, including asthma, dermatitis, rhinitis, and also work with immunologists to treat immune system disorders. If you experience symptoms such as persistent sneezing, runny or itchy nose, skin rashes, shortness of breath, or chronic sinusitis, you should visit an allergist in Kyiv. These symptoms may indicate allergies or hypersensitivity reactions that require professional evaluation and management.

What diseases does an allergist treat

Our allergists treat many diseases, including:

• Seasonal and other forms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever).
• Asthma and related respiratory diseases.
• Skin allergies, including eczema and contact dermatitis.
• Food allergies and intolerance to certain foods.
• Drug allergies.
• Anaphylaxis and other severe allergic reactions.

These conditions can have a significant impact on everyday life, but with the qualified help of an allergist, symptoms can be effectively controlled.

What diagnostic methods does an allergist use

To accurately diagnose allergic conditions and diseases, allergists in Kyiv use a number of modern diagnostic methods, including

• Skin prick tests to identify allergens that cause immediate allergic reactions.
• Blood tests to measure the level of specific immunoglobulins E (IgE) associated with allergens.
• Patch tests to diagnose contact dermatitis.
• Lung function tests for the diagnosis and treatment of bronchial asthma.
• Provocative tests under medical supervision to accurately identify food or drug allergies.

These diagnostic tools allow allergists to develop effective treatment strategies tailored to the individual needs of each patient.

How does an allergist consultation work

During the consultation with an allergist at IM “Dobrobut”, the medical history, current symptoms, complaints and known and possible triggers (irritants) are discussed. The doctor will conduct a detailed examination and may prescribe diagnostic tests to better understand the origin of the allergy. Based on these results, an individualized treatment plan will be developed, which may include medications, immunotherapy, dietary or lifestyle changes to control allergies and reduce symptoms.

What questions to ask your doctor

During a conversation with an allergist, you can ask questions to better understand your treatment and symptoms:

1. What are the most likely triggers of the symptoms?
2. What diagnostic tests are needed and what can they show?
3. What are the recommended treatment options, and what can I expect in terms of effectiveness and side effects?
4. How can I avoid or minimize my exposure to allergens?
5. Are there any lifestyle changes that should be considered to improve the condition?
