Mold Allergy Diagnosis

Mold allergy diagnosis typically involves a combination of a patient's medical history, a physical examination, and specific tests. Doctors often ask about symptoms (like sneezing, coughing, or itchy eyes) and potential mold exposure. Skin tests or blood tests may be conducted to check for allergic reactions to mold spores. These tests measure the immune system's response, helping confirm if mold is the cause of the symptoms. Understanding this diagnosis helps guide effective treatment options, such as avoiding mold, using medications, or undergoing immunotherapy for long-term relief.
