Question:
I'm allergic to something but I don't know what it is so I am going to the doctor to get tested for different types of allergies and I was wondering what kind of doctor should I go to? I was thinking of going to an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) doctor... is that the right doctor? If it isn't, which doctor should I go to?
Thanks so much for all you help! =)
Answers:
Not an ENT. Some General Practitioners/Family Doctors will do the allergy testing. If they don't, then the doc will send you to an Allergist.

first consult a general physician, to find out your problem then, a specialist.
There are many types of allergens. So, better to consult a general physician first. The physician can identify what kind of allergy you're encountering. Then, if your allergies are really serious it is best to consult a specialist regarding what type of allergy you have. But, the physician can also help if it is a mild allergy.
