Questions to Ask your Allergist

You know how it is when you leave the doctor’s office and then realize that there was a question... or two, that you forgot to ask?

It happens to all of us, but it happens less if we take a prepared list of questions, with the most important ones first.

You might want to ask your allergist some of these:

• What tests will you do you diagnose my allergy or asthma problem?


• How can I learn more about my diagnosis?


• What are my treatment options?


• What can I do on my own to improve my condition?


• Are there any supplements or over-the-counter drugs I should or shouldn’t take?


• What are the possible side effects?


• How much do I take and for how long?


• If my symptoms worsen, what should I do? Your office? ER?


• What steps can I take to allergy-proof my home?


• How often should I come in for follow-up appointments?

Of course, each person’s list will be a little different, but the above will get you started and you can adjust it to fit your own personal needs.
