Allergist and Immunologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I would like to explain your allergy testing result as follows:

1. It shows that you are allergic to pollens and house dust mites.

2. Both pollens and house dust mites are air-borne allergens. They usualy cause allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis, occasionally urticaria/angioedema, etc.

3. Practically, it is difficult to avoid them as they are air-borne.

4. If your medications are not controlling your symptoms enough or you tend to develop side effects due to medications, I would suggest you to consult an Allergist-Immunologist who will know your symptoms, investigations and medications in detail and may consider allergen specific immunotherapy which gradually improves allergy symptoms over a long period.

Hope above information will be helpful to you.

Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health ahead.

Thank you & Regards.
