All about allergy

For typical allergic reactions, your health-care provider will examine you and ask questions about your symptoms and their timing. Blood tests and X-rays are not needed except under unusual circumstances.
In case of severe reaction, you will be evaluated quickly in the emergency department. The first step for the health-care provider is to judge the severity of the allergic reaction.
Blood pressure and pulse are checked.
An examination determines whether you need help breathing.
Often, an IV line is placed in case you need antiallergy medications quickly.
If you can speak, you will be asked about triggers and previous reactions.
Blood tests and X-rays are typically not helpful.
