The allergist is a specialist in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of allergic and immune diseases. He is able to identify the allergen or group of allergens that cause adverse reactions in the body and prescribes the appropriate treatment.
Allergies and diseases in general can manifest themselves differently. Depending on the severity of symptoms, they can range from mild redness and watery eyes to swelling of internal organs. However, the main cause is always the same – the body is hypersensitive to one or more substances, which are completely harmless to the human body under normal conditions.
