Allergy appt

EmR22 · November 2013

How often does your allergist require appts? My DD2 was tested before starting school and they said she doesn't need to be retested for 3-5 years. Her allergies are bad and getting worse as she gets older. I tried to get her epi-pen renewed and they said they won't without an appt. Does your doc require a yearly appt when no testing is done and you have no problems? I've made her an appt and but it just burns me that I have to pay for a "specialist" appt and they aren't even re-testing and she doesn't have any problems.

I'm not 100% sure as DS has yet to go a full year from his original appointment, however I was given the impression that he can be re-tested every two years. No mention of another appointment in order to get new epi pens in between appointments.

We go back to the allergist every 3 months as of now and get retested for already occurring allergies every 6 months. She has gotten tested for new allergies depending on if we suspect new ones are forming

My girls have the blood test done each year. But our regular pedi orders the test. We take them to the pedi allergist if they need a skin test too. Or if they're having reactions to something, but we don't know what it is.
