Most people are unaware of their allergies
Allergies affect about 25% of the population. But, did you know that there are no special “allergy symptoms”.
- Symptoms are just symptoms – people feel unwell, have sneezing, runny noses, itchy skin, headaches, mood changes, sore tummies, diarrhoea ... etc. These are how we feel.
- Then these symptoms have to be attributed to some cause. Most medical practitioners look for an infectious cause – usually “a virus”. But the symptoms of allergy are identical!
The Allergy Centre is dedicated to helping you find out if you have an allergy that might be causing your symptoms. This is achieved by questionnaires, an interview, skin prick testing and blood tests.
Both children and adults.
The Allergy Centre sees both adults and children. Adults are seen on Mondays by Dr Laura Day
Please call the office for an appointment: Christchurch (03) 352-4141.
If you have symptoms on “The Big List”, then an allergy is likely.
