Allergy check
The skin prick test is the main tool used in the clinic for diagnosing acute IgE -related allergies. The test is uncomplicated in terms of performance, but what is most important is its correct use and reading by a specialist allergist. The test can be very useful in diagnosing an allergy to a specific food or a specific environmental or topical allergen. And it is used for drug allergy less effectively. The test involves identifying the substances that cause allergy symptoms by a specialist. Then a drop of this suspected substance is placed on the skin. A small plastic pin is used to scratch the skin. The examination is read after 15-20 minutes. It is worth noting that the test requires specialized preparation to be able to read and draw correct conclusions. BABIIII asuuhhh ra iso di edit!!!!!!!!!!!
Asthma definition
When symptoms are in doubt, we can help clarify the diagnosis. Asthma presents in different ways in children and adults. Symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, or many other symptoms can have causes other than asthma. For example, inflammation of the nose and sinuses, increased stomach acid and even immunodeficiency may cause or contribute to these symptoms. The medical history remains the most important factor in arriving at the correct diagnosis. Some of the tests that are carried out in the clinic contribute to the accuracy of the diagnosis of asthma according to the age group.
Spirometry فحص
It is a test to measure breathing capacity. Spirometry is a very important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma, as well as other diseases. The examination requires some cooperation on the part of the patient and their ability to learn the technique of blowing into the device. So screening is usually best done in older children and adults.

Allergy immunotherapy
Specific immunotherapy is one of the best solutions for chronic allergies. The treatment works on the principle of gradual accustoming to the allergen, or substances. This is done by delivering small, gradual doses of the measured substances (allergens) allowing the body, and the immune system, to adapt to it. The result of the treatment success is the disappearance of allergy symptoms the next times the patient is exposed to the substance (allergens). This specific dose can be given under the tongue in daily doses and over many years. It is distinguished over the rest of the treatments by its length of benefit, which may last 10 years or more! And that it is a natural substance, not a medicinal chemical. It is also the only scientifically and explicitly proven to prevent the continuation of childhood asthma to adult asthma.
Immunotherapy can be used to treat asthma and eye and nose allergies. An allergy and immunologist may suggest this treatment in the following cases:
- Disease caused by anti-IgE (positive skin prick test and/or specific blood test)
- The symptoms that the patient complains about correspond to the examination.
- Symptoms do not improve with avoidance of environmental causes.
- Symptoms do not improve enough with the other medicines.
- The patient cannot take traditional medicines due to side effects or unwillingness.
- Asthma should not be in a very severe case.
- The immunotherapy vaccine is available and effective (eg pollen, seasonal weeds, dust mites or cat dander)
pharmacological challenge
Pharmacological challenge is the final step in confirming sensitivity to a particular drug. A detailed medical history and additional testing such as a skin test is essential before considering this option. The possibility of a reaction related to the drug in question must be confirmed by the doctor, because there is a need to challenge and discuss possible alternatives. The challenge entails a specific prescription of medication with a close follow-up. In some rare cases, it is necessary to use a drug that has been proven to be allergic. In this case, it is possible to force the body and accustom it to the drug as a specialist allergist. This will allow for gradual acceptance of the drug and continued admission for as long as the drug is taken consistently. But if this drug is stopped for a period of time, it must be repeated gradually to prevent the occurrence of allergy again.
food challenge
In some cases of food allergy, it is necessary to treat the child so that he can eat the specified food. After discussing the situation with an allergy specialist, this can be done. This is preceded by conducting some allergy tests. The challenge must be carried out in the clinic and under the supervision of the doctor, where the necessary experience is available, in addition to the emergency use medications. As there is a small risk of causing an allergic reaction with this challenge. The decision to proceed with this challenge depends on many things. This includes the child’s age, type of food, and the importance of this food in the family’s traditional diet, in addition to specialized tests. A food challenge is the ultimate test to determine if a suspected food is a real cause of allergy symptoms. slot online gacor
accurate blood tests
Specific allergy tests are ordered and read at the clinic. Such as the Specific IgE (ImmunoCAP) test for allergens, environmental foods and others. Some other tests may be required to clarify the immune status or nutritional and general health of the patient or to detect rare side effects.
Vaccinations
Vaccines are an important component of the overall health of children and adults. Some routine vaccines are provided by the Ministry of Health in Kuwait and some other vaccines are only available in the private sector. Examples include the chickenpox vaccine and the diarrheal rotavirus. A seasonal flu vaccine is also available. Vaccines can sometimes cause some side effects. While others may cause allergic reactions due to their medicinal content or added protein. Using special examinations, in addition to the medical history, it is possible to advise on these vaccinations. Some baits can also be used to assess immunity.
