Common allergies for which you can seek help from immunologist are:

• Allergic rhinitis: Also known as hay fever, generally occurs during fall, summer or spring. Common symptoms include runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, itching in the nose or roof of the mouth. If the symptoms persist year-round, it might be because of indoor allergens like pets, dust mites and indoor molds. 
  
  
• Food allergy: This is the most common type of allergy. Even a tiny trace of food you are allergic to can cause a reaction. Common food allergy symptoms are seen mainly on the skin or stomach, which include diarrhea, stomach ache, vomiting and hives. The test most likely will confirm the food to which you are allergic and, therefore, avoid the occurrence of the symptoms. 
  
  
• Asthma: This allergic disease causes frequent coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. In some cases, this becomes a hindrance to living everyday life. An Allergist/Immunologist can help in decreasing the number of flare-ups and the need for emergency care. You and your allergy specialist can work together to manage asthma to help you live a healthy life. 
  
  
• Eczema: It is a common skin allergy that causes itchy and dry rash, mainly on the elbows, ankles, face, wrists and knees. Eczema management is an evolving field that changes daily. The specialist can suggest some medications and lifestyle changes to provide you relief from this common disease.

They will help you know what causes your allergy and then help you gain control over your body and health. To decide the course of treatment, the specialists need to know the specific triggers and then order some tests to identify the allergen that causes reaction.
