ALLERGY TESTING IN HENDERSON, NV

Identify Possible Causes of Your Sinus Symptoms

Allergies may play a role in ongoing sinus issues. In some cases, they can also worsen pre-existing conditions—leading to inflammation, congestion, coughing, and other symptoms. Left unaddressed, allergies may impact your overall well-being and quality of life.

Allergy testing is the first step in identifying potential triggers and determining whether they contribute to chronic sinus concerns. Because every individual has a unique allergy profile, testing allows for more informed care and targeted symptom management.

At Las Vegas Sinus & ENT Centers, our experienced team offers allergy testing and comprehensive sinus evaluations to help patients in Henderson and surrounding areas better understand the source of their symptoms.

Allergy Testing: Understand Your Triggers

Allergy testing is performed to help identify how your immune system responds to specific allergens. This testing can assist your provider in determining appropriate next steps for treatment.

Skin Prick Testing

Skin prick testing is the most commonly used method. It offers useful insights into your allergy profile and potential reaction severity.

Tiny amounts of allergens are applied to the skin in marked locations.
A control prick is used for comparison.
Results are reviewed by your provider to help identify which allergens produce a measurable response.
Most tests are performed on the forearm and are well tolerated.

Skin testing is typically quick and involves minimal discomfort—often compared to a fingernail scratch.

Intradermal Testing

This method involves injecting a small amount of an allergen just beneath the skin, usually when surface testing yields unclear results. It is commonly used for certain allergens, such as insect venom or medications, and is conducted under close clinical supervision.

Blood Testing

Blood testing may be recommended in specific cases, including:

History of severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis
Underlying skin conditions (e.g., eczema or psoriasis)
Current use of medications that interfere with skin test accuracy

Preparing for an Allergy Test

During your initial visit, our team will provide detailed instructions. In general:

Inform us of any current medications or health conditions

Allergy Treatment Options at Las Vegas Sinus & ENT Centers

Our allergy and sinus specialists tailor treatment plans to each patient’s needs and goals. Options may include:

Allergy Medications

Over-the-counter or prescription medications may be used to help relieve symptoms. These are typically used short-term and do not address immune sensitivity itself.

Allergy Immunotherapy (Allergy Drops)

This treatment introduces small, controlled doses of allergens over time to help reduce sensitivity. Allergy drops are a long-term management option and may help decrease symptom frequency and severity.

Not all patients are candidates for immunotherapy. An evaluation is required to determine suitability. Results vary by individual.
