Allergies are diagnosed by history, physical exam and allergy testing. This is done either by skin testing or blood testing. Results of skin testing are available in a few minutes and blood testing usually takes a few days.

What about treatment? Do you have any recommendations on some good and trusted meds? I would like to try some prescription allergy medicine for myself soon, and I think it is a good idea. But I would apprecaite any input here and good luck!

An allergist or immunologist can diagnose your allergies using allergy skin tests, which show if your immune system reacts to specific allergens. You can also test your reactivity to common allergens using a home allergy test.
