| i was tested for allergies (molds, dust mites, cockroaches, pollen etc.) (and i am 12). the most inexpensive and common is the prick test. i was given a prick test. it kinda feels like a sharp brush and duznt hurt a whole lot. it injex serum from each allergen in2 the skin of ur lower arm. if ur allergic to that substance, an ittchy white bump (like a mosquito bite) appears. in case of a severe reaction, ur asked2 stay in the offis 4 about 45 minutes. if u get a severe reaction, the doc gives u epiphepherine, which reverses an allergic reaction that is life threatening. another test AFTER the prick test confirms the allergies and is injectd in2 the skin of the upper arm. the second test allergens go deeper in2 the skin. u can also get a blood test 4 allergies.allergies can b treated by a medicine ur doc perscribed. ( a doc will definitly know the diffrnce between a sinus infection and an allergy!) a sinus infection probly DUZNT cause goopy eyes. (coolo word, goopy!) hope i helped! |
