What tools do allergists use?

Allergists utilize a range of tools to diagnose and treat Allergies, including skin prick tests, which help identify specific allergens by exposing the skin to small amounts of potential triggers. They may also use blood tests, such as specific IgE tests, to measure allergen-related antibodies. Additionally, allergists often employ spirometry to assess lung function in patients with Asthma and provide treatment options like inhalers or allergy medications. For immunotherapy, they may use allergy shots or sublingual tablets to desensitize patients to allergens over time.
