Allergy Testing

Our medical clinic in Sukth offers different types of diagnostic tests depending on the allergy they’re looking for. These tests include but are not limited to the following:

Skin prick/scratch tests

This testing method is one of the most common tests an allergist can perform in order to identify the patient’s allergy and triggers. During this examination our allergist will lightly scratch your skin using an applicator coated with a very small amount of allergen. Then, he will wait to see if there is an allergic reaction to this allergen.

Blood tests

Our allergist will conduct a blood test in cooperation with our medical laboratory department. This test will show us whether you show any signs of allergy to specific substances.

Food challenge tests

This type of test is used to determine whether the patient is allergic to specific kinds of food. Our allergist will instruct the patient to consume the food that they are testing and then he will carefully monitor the patient for any signs of an allergic reaction.

Asthma Testing

If the patient has shown symptoms characteristic of asthma, our allergist will perform all the necessary pulmonary function testing methods.

Lung function testing

Our allergist will perform a spirometry test as well as all the other diagnostic examinations he sees fit in order to properly test and measure the patient’s lung function. After a thorough examination he will diagnose the condition and provide a suitable asthma management plan.

Medical device instructions

Our allergist will also instruct you on how to properly use the medical devices recommended for your specific condition. If you have tested positive for a specific allergy he will guide you on how to use an epinephrine injector in case you have a severe allergic reaction. In case you are diagnosed with asthma, our allergist will instruct you on how to use an inhaler or nebulizer according to your case.
