Immunology
My son has persistent allergy of eyes since 6 months. He had been having frequent bronchitis while younger but not anymore. His mother had TB of spine (pleurisy?) at the time of delivery (treated). An opthalmologist opined he may have weak immunity. Would visiting a immunologist help? I am also confused since immunologists in Bangalore identify themselves as rheumatologists primarily.
