Hi,I am a 33 year old male, weighing 66 kgs and height is 171 cms living in Delhi. I have severe cough since last two months. Though I have taken medicine for cough and cold, have done chest and sinus x-ray but the test were all clear. Now I am doubting that I may be allergic to something due to which I get attack of severe coughing as the day progresses. Please advise how I can determine that I am suffering from an allergy, what test/treatment could be done and where I need to go to get them done? Thank YouAdnan
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor There are allergy tests available. They can be done as blood tests or as skin prick testing. The blood tests can be ordered by your general practitioner, but the skin prick testing may require a dermatologist or allergist. Either of these would be able to tell you the source of your allergies. Till you can source the test, you may want to consider the use of topical steroid nasal sprays and anti histamines. I hope this helps
