Depending on your symptoms, your doctor may diagnose your allergies using one or more of a number of methods. Here are six tools your doctor is likely to use to conclusively determine which substances are causing your allergic symptoms.
1. History
Your first visit to the doctor for allergy symptoms will probably begin with a physical examination and a history. Your physician may ask you when your symptoms began, what sorts of foods you ate around the time they started, and what changes you may have experienced in your environment.
