ALLERGY SYMPTOMS

Allergies can cause itchy, runny, congested noses; red, watering eyes; and sneezing fits. These symptoms can be caused by many inhaled exposures such as pollen, danders, molds, and dust mites.

DIAGNOSING ALLERGIES

If you have allergy symptoms, allergy testing is done to confirm the suspected cause and determine what to avoid, medication choices, and immunotherapy to get you feeling better.  It is important to make sure you don’t have one of the many allergy look alike problems such as nasal polyps, non-allergic rhinitis (vasomotor rhinitis), chronic sinusitis, and deviated septum.

ALLERGIC RHINITIS

A runny nose, sneezing, and stuffiness are common problems associated with allergic rhinitis. They can be caused by infections, allergies, non-allergic nasal disease (vasomotor rhinitis), nasal polyps, deviated septum, chronic sinusitis and other difficulties.

MANAGING ALLERGIES

Avoidance, medication and immunotherapy are great options to manage your allergies.

IMMUNOTHERAPY

Allergy immunotherapy is also called desensitization or hyposensitization.  It can be performed as allergy shots or with under the tongue therapy. It is a form of treatment that can make you less sensitive to allergens.  That means less allergy suffering and taking fewer medications!
