If you think you or your child may have an allergy, see a GP. A GP may arrange some allergy tests or refer you to a specialist allergy clinic to have them. Tests you may have include a skin prick or patch test – where a small amount of the allergen is put on your skin to see if it reacts, blood tests – to check for allergens that may be causing your symptoms, a special diet where you avoid or eat less of a food you might be allergic to, to see if your symptoms get better. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can include a runny nose or sneezing, pain or tenderness around your cheeks, eyes or forehead, coughing, wheezing or breathlessness, itchy skin or a raised rash. Treatments for allergies include trying to avoid the thing you're allergic to whenever possible, medicines for mild allergic reactions like antihistamines, steroid tablets and steroid creams. Common allergens include animals, particularly pets like cats and dogs. Your specialist will give you an allergy management plan that will explain how to manage your allergy.

The symptoms of a dog allergy may range from mild to severe. Symptoms may not appear for several days after exposure in people with low sensitivity. Some clues you may be allergic to dogs include: swelling and itching in the membranes of the nose or around the eyes, redness of the skin after being licked by a dog, coughing, shortness of breath, or wheezing within 15 to 30 minutes of exposure to allergens, rash on the face, neck, or chest, a severe asthma attack (in someone with asthma). Children with dog allergies will often develop eczema in addition to the above symptoms. An allergist can perform tests and tell you how severe your dog allergy is and what types of treatments can help.
