Asthma and allergy are two most common health problems. In United States of America, approximately 50 million Americans have asthma, hay fever or other allergy-related conditions. While some allergy problems— such as mild hay fever—may not require treatment or can be controlled with occasional use of an over-thecounter medication, some allergic reactions can be life threatening. In this case one should contact an allergy specialist immediately. An allergist is a physician who specializes in diagnosing and treating of allergic diseases and asthma. An allergy doctor is specially trained to identify factors that trigger asthma and allergies. May it be food allergies or nasal allergies; allergy and asthma testing can be conducted to know what triggers attacks and how best to control it. Having a healthy immune system is also important to helping in preventing a possible attack. Immunology is a branch of biomedical science dealing with our body’s responses to antigenic challenge. It deals in the defense mechanism including all physical, chemical and biological properties of the body and helps it combat susceptible foreign organisms.
