An Allergy Profile Test is a diagnostic test that helps identify allergic reactions to specific substances like dust, pollen, pet dander, mold, foods, and insect venom. It measures the levels of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood, which are produced in response to allergens.

✔️ Breathing difficulties, wheezing, or asthma-like symptoms
✔️ Swelling of the face, lips, or throat (severe allergic reactions)
✔️ Digestive problems like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea after eating certain foods
