Who do I see for 3 yr old allergies?

And what alternatives do I have as far as medical tests?  Do bring him to an allergist to see what foods/ things he is allergic to?  I remember some test where I was pricked/injected countless times as a child and I really don't want that for my kid.

Is there a reason why you need to see an allergist?  What types of reactions is your child having?  If they are reacting with hives, I would keep a food journal of foods that they eat so that you can link that to observed reactions.

I would see a pediatric allergist.  In our appointment, they only tested for food that E was showing reactions to.  There are two types of tests-skin prick tests and RAST tests which are blood tests for IgE-specific antibodies to particular foods.  There can be lots of false positives but fewer false negatives
