Should I see a doctor?

Can you answer yes to any of the following questions?

1) Do you suffer from a runny nose, itchy and watery eyes, stuffy nose or postnasal drip?

2) Do you sneeze and cough in the morning?

3) Do you have difficulty breathing through your nose?

4) Do you experience sore throat or hoarseness?

Sounds like a cold, doesn't it? That's why diagnosing upper respiratory disease is so difficult. Sniffles and sneezes can make you feel like you have an allergy, but they may actually be caused by another condition such as a virus or infection.

It's important to find out for sure. Once you know, you and your doctor can make the right decisions for your treatment.

Now there's a remarkable new test that your doctor can use to tell if you do or do not have allergies - the ImmunoCAP® Allergy blood test. Because this test is new to primary care, your doctor may not be aware of it. That's why we've created the Ask Your Doctor Printout in a PDF format. You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print this document. Take it with you on your next office visit. It tells your doctor how to get information to make the latest allergy testing technology available to you.
