Allergological history

An allergy history is the collection of information about the presence of allergic reactions in a patient. It includes questions about heredity, symptoms, treatment and prevention of allergies.

Allergic history is an important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases. It helps the doctor determine the cause of the allergy and select the most effective treatment.

To collect an allergy history, the doctor asks questions about what allergy symptoms the patient has had, how often they occur, what medications cause allergies, whether there is an allergy to food or pollen, etc.

In addition, the doctor may ask the patient to provide information about how they responded to previous allergies, what treatments were effective, and what lifestyle changes helped reduce symptoms.

Collecting an allergy history helps the doctor correctly diagnose allergies and choose the most effective treatment method. It also helps prevent the development of new allergic reactions and improve the patient's quality of life.
