Allergic Reaction
I get body rashes and my lips get swollen because of some allergy. I got some tests done to check if i am allergic to things such as milk, weed, glutton, etc. but everything was positive. The frequency of lip swelling has increased to once-twice a month despite taking one allegra 180mg every day (i have taking allegra for last couple of years), as prescribed by the doctor. Please tell me what should i do.

Hello.......radioallergosorbent test (RAST) is a blood test using radioimmunoassaytest to detect specific IgE antibodies, to determine the substances a subject is allergic to. This is different from a skin allergy test, which determines allergy by the reaction of a person's skin to different substances.Get this test done and consult allergist
