Allergy

Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or certain foods, treating them as harmful invaders. When the respiratory system is affected, it can lead to symptoms that significantly impact quality of life, including nasal congestion, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Respiratory allergies, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma, are common conditions that can be triggered by various allergens and environmental factors. Identifying the specific allergens and understanding the triggers is crucial for effective management and prevention.

Our pulmonologist specializes in diagnosing and managing respiratory allergies to help patients breathe easier and live more comfortably. We offer allergy testing to identify specific triggers and develop personalized treatment plans, which may include medications, allergy shots (immunotherapy), and lifestyle recommendations to minimize exposure. For individuals with allergy-induced asthma, we focus on reducing inflammation and managing symptoms to prevent complications and improve overall lung health.

Allergies can often be managed effectively with the right approach, reducing symptoms and enhancing your quality of life. If you are experiencing symptoms that may indicate an allergy, our pulmonologist is here to help you identify the cause and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
