Things to note before testing for allergens

Since some people are very prone to allergies, and allergies have a significant impact on a person's normal life and work, some people who are prone to allergies will go to the hospital to test for allergens. Because testing allergens can effectively tell you what causes your allergies, so you can effectively avoid these things in your future life. But what should people pay attention to before testing for allergens?

1. Dietary considerations

Before we check for allergens, it is not necessary to not eat, but we just need to pay attention to our diet and choose light food. Here is a reminder that people with hyperlipidemia should eat breakfast earlier so that they can have blood tests on the same day.

2. Precautions for stopping medication

We must pay attention a few days before the allergen test. We must stop taking the antihistamines, cold medicines and other medicines we usually take. The discontinuation time is generally within one week before the test. In special cases, for those who cannot stop the medication, they need to receive preliminary treatment in the outpatient clinic first, and then stop the medication after the symptoms stabilize. After a period of time, allergen testing can be performed; another method is to adjust the treatment plan in the outpatient clinic and then perform a preliminary allergen test.

We must pay attention to the above matters when testing allergens. You cannot be perfunctory and must be responsible for your own health. If you do not follow the above instructions for examination, you will not be able to find out the real cause of the disease. The above introduction is authoritative in time and theory, and patients are expected to follow it.
