NOTE<\/p>\n
\u25a1 Points (1) to (6) pertain to cough which is allergic in nature.
\n\u25a1 Points (7) to (11) pertain to your child who is allergic to a food.
\n\u25a1 Points (12) to (16) pertain to your (child’s) symptoms due to asthma.<\/p>\n
CONCLUSION<\/p>\n
If your answer to even two of the points in No.(l) above is in the affirmative (‘Yes’), your cough is allergic in nature. If you say more ‘yes’ to the conditions mentioned in No (2), you are allergic to a (particular) food item and, finally, if your or your child’s answer to more than half the questions is in the affirmative, it can be concluded that there are far more chances to have asthma.<\/p>\n
TESTING POINTS ABOUT HAIR-DYE ?<\/p>\n
\u25a1 Do you feel like scratching or feel the need to scratch after 24 hours application of Hair-Dye?
\n\u25a1 Do you have itching behind the nape of neck and ears after 24 hours of application of Hair-Dye?
\n\u25a1 Do you notice raised spots and redness on the scalp, on examination the scalp?<\/p>\n
If your answer is ‘Yes’ even to one of the said questions, you must stop use of Hair-dye without any delay.<\/p>\n
POINTS ABOUT SKIN RASH BEING ALLERGIC IN NATURE<\/p>\n
\u25a1 Does the rash cause any sort of itching when it is at a (particular) site?
\n\u25a1 Does the rash appear and disappear suddenly?
\n\u25a1 Is the rash raised from the skin?
\n\u25a1 Does the rash appear only after taking a particular food item (say egg, fish, chocolate, tea or coffee or any other food item for that matter)?
\n\u25a1 Has the rash any relation to cold, heat, emotional state or exertion?<\/p>\n
If you reply in ‘yes’ to even one of the said questions, it can be concluded that your rash is allergic in nature. There could be other testing points which might be peculiar a particular patient, but not to all the patients. Hence, two cases cannot be generalised. Time of aggravation and type of allergen are two core factors which determine the diagnosis or, at least, help in diagnosing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
