You dont have to suffer in silence. We will help you develop a plan to keep your allergies under control. We will teach you about “irritants” and how they make allergy symptoms worse.
Other health problems arise from allergic irritation and inflammation. If you have any of the following, our office can help you: sinus infections, eye inflammation, nasal polyps, ear problems, asthma, eczema.
Allergy testing is done through either a skin test or a blood test. Once we know what is causing your allergy symptoms, we will advise you on tips for controlling allergens, taking medications, using saline nasal rinses, and discuss allergy shots (immunotherapy) if you are a candidate.
Over time, allergy shots may make your body less sensitive to allergens. Sometimes underlying problems in your nose or sinuses can’t be treated with shots or medications. To correct these problems, the physician may recommend surgery. Our physicains are board certifiec in Ear Nose & Throat Surgery and can give you an honest evaluation and explaination of your problem.
