Brief Answer: Allergic tests are not very sensitive or specific Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. The tests used for allergy are not very sensitive or specific. Even if he has allegy the same may not catch up on the tests. He is already on cetain drugs. If changing the place or work and stay is not a solution then I would suggest that he should switch to stronger steroids or even oral preparations for a short period to reduce the allergy. Short course of oral prednisolone should help in reducing the allergy. Also he may start some aerobic exercises at home. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
