Schedule an Appointment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The result of your immune system\u2019s exaggerated response to a harmless substance, allergies can affect people of all ages, races and lifestyles. Making an appointment with an allergy specialist is your first step toward finally finding relief.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Undergo Allergy Tests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way to treat your allergy symptoms is to determine their exact cause; this is accomplished through a series of allergy tests:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Skin prick test<\/li><li>Intradermal test<\/li><li>Blood test<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Create a Treatment Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Allergies can be treated through prevention, medication or immunotherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Prevention involves avoiding contact with the allergen that triggers your symptoms.<\/li><li>Medications include antihistamines, decongestants, nasal sprays, eye drops and corticosteroids.<\/li><li>Immunotherapy involves building up a tolerance to an allergen by introducing it to the body in small doses over a period of time through shots, drops or tablets.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Allergies aren\u2019t always as obvious as they might appear, and OTC treatments may not be the best option. We can determine the true cause of your allergies and help you choose a targeted allergy treatment that works for you. Breathe easy.
