WHEN SHOULD I SEEK TREATMENT FOR ALLERGIES?
If the itchy, watery eyes and sneezing you usually have in the spring are now showing up in other times of the year, you may benefit from medical allergy testing and treatment.
Our providers use comprehensive allergy testing to help you identify allergy triggers and create a custom treatment plan to help you manage your symptoms.
You should seek treatment when these symptoms interfere with your quality of life or limit your ability to go outside or into other environments.
A severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis can be life-threatening. Bee stings and food allergies are common triggers that can make allergy sufferers go into shock. If this happens, call 911 or seek immediate medical treatment.

AVAILABLE TREATMENTS FOR ALLERGIES
Depending on the severity of your symptoms, our providers may initially recommend over-the-counter allergy medications to relieve your symptoms. They may also recommend home care treatments, such as spraying your nasal passages with saline and keeping your home as dust-free as possible.
For more serious allergic reactions, our providers may recommend allergy shots, which are typically administered weekly. You may need more than one injection, depending on your allergy triggers.
You may also be a good candidate for sublingual drop therapy, a treatment option you perform at home that involves a custom-made allergy solution you place under your tongue once a day.
