About Allergy
Certainly! Allergies are a common health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. An allergy is an immune system response to a substance that the body perceives as a threat, even though it is harmless to most people. These substances are known as allergens and can include things like pollen, dust, certain foods, medications, and pet dander, among others.When an allergen enters the body, the immune system produces antibodies called Immunoglobulin E (IgE) to fight it off. This triggers the release of chemicals, such as histamine, which cause the symptoms associated with an allergic reaction. Common symptoms of allergies include sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, skin rash, and difficulty breathing.
About Asthma
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects the airways, causing them to become inflamed and narrowed, which makes it difficult to breathe. Asthma can range in severity from mild to severe and can be a lifelong condition. The exact cause of asthma is not known, but it is thought to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Asthma triggers can include allergies, respiratory infections, exercise, air pollution, and stress, among others.

F.A.Q

How we treat our Patients?

All patients attending our Islamabad or Lahore clinics are carefully evaluated with a detailed clinical history and a relevant physical examination.
Since the symptoms of allergy overlap with many other illnesses. Our specially trained physicians attempt to diagnose the patients condition with minimum of diagnostic test, except the absolute essential once, If required.

Our initial attempt is to treat the symptoms with preventative measures and simple pharmacological Treatment (Medicine).

What type of allergy testing do we perform?

The type of allergy testing depends on the history, symptoms, location, environment and life style of the patient. The gold standard for the diagnoses of common allergic diseases is by skin prick testing. The allergens (substances, which cause allergy) to be tested are selected form a wide range of allergens available depending on the requirement of the patient. Skin prick allergy testing can include between 30 to 80 tests in our session, and can last up to one hour.

Why do we perform Allergy Testing?

In Case a Simple trial of
pharmacological treatment (Medicine) is unsuccessful,only then do we plan to
advise or perform further tests, including allergy testing.

What type of treatment do we provide?

Once an allergy test is suggestive of any specific substance causing the
symptoms of the allergy, appropriate preventative and treatment measures are advised.
