Allergist – Who are they and what do they do?

An allergist is a specialist in diagnosing and treating allergic diseases. Based on a medical interview, clinical picture, and test results, they identify the causes of allergies and select appropriate treatment methods.

An allergist consults patients with conditions such as respiratory, contact, food allergies, asthma, allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, urticaria, and hypersensitivity to foods and medications. They also qualify patients for specific immunotherapy (desensitization) and monitor its progress during scheduled visits.

Scope of an allergist's consultation

During the visit, the allergist:

• conducts a detailed allergy interview;
• performs a physical examination;
• prescribes medications and provides recommendations;
• refers for diagnostic tests (skin tests, serological tests);
• qualifies for specific immunotherapy (desensitization);
• issues referrals to other specialists;
• if necessary, issues a medical certificate.

What does the first visit to an allergist look like?

The visit to an allergist begins with a detailed medical interview, during which the doctor asks about symptoms, their frequency, and possible triggers of allergic reactions. Then, a physical examination is performed, and based on that, the doctor assesses whether further diagnostics are necessary, such as skin tests or blood tests, which are conducted during a separate visit.

After the initial assessment, the allergist may recommend avoiding certain allergens and, if necessary, prescribe medications to alleviate symptoms.

During follow-up visits, the test results are discussed—if the diagnosis is unclear, the doctor may order further tests or consider immunotherapy (desensitization).

When should you see an allergist?

You should visit an allergist if you experience symptoms indicating an allergy, such as:

• hay fever, allergic cough, itchy eyes (inhalant allergens);
• rash, itching, urticaria (contact allergens);
• stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea after consuming certain foods (food allergens);

How to choose the best allergist?

When choosing an allergist, consider:

• patient reviews,
• the doctor's experience,
• the range of services offered,
• availability of appointment times.

You can easily find a doctor tailored to your needs. Each specialist has a detailed profile where you can check their qualifications, experience, range of services, and the languages in which the visit can be conducted. If there is no information about additional languages in the doctor's description, it means the consultation will be conducted only in Polish.
