Diagnosis. In order to confirm the Diagnosis, more Tests are Carried Out.
USUAL
Test on a skin prick
The allergen is discovered by applying various substances to the skin
and seeing how the body responds to them
ONLY VERY RARELY
Blood Tryptase
Finds the blood's allergy-specific antibodies. Typically requested when
a skin test cannot be performed
Narcotic Cytology
Aids in separating allergic rhinitis from infection-related rhinitis
Treatments
The best course of action would be to identify and stay away from the allergens responsible for
the symptoms. If it cannot be completely avoided, precautions should be taken to reduce
exposure.
MEDICATION
Corticosteroid nasal spray
Used to treat itchiness and inflammation. offered as sprays.
Fluticasone propionate, triamcinolone, mometasone, and budesonide are common medications.
