Looking for an Allergist or Immunologist with the Arrival of Spring?
Filed Under DuPage Medical Group News
Spring allergy season is here!Common springtime allergy symptoms include sneezing, nasal congestion, nasal drip, and itchy, watery eyes. Worsening asthma and sinus infections are common complications of inadequately managed allergies. In addition to asthma exacerbations and sinusitis, children may experience behavioral problems and ear infections as a result.
If you or your child are among the 35 million Americans affected by seasonal allergies, an allergist or immunologist can help. Allergists and immunologists take a proactive stance on managing allergies – aiming to maintain symptom control and prevent complications rather than reacting when allergies flare.Through identification of allergic triggers, proper education, and appropriate medical management, an allergist can help prevent annoying allergy symptoms and minimize complications. Some options for the treatment of allergies include avoidance measures, medications, and allergen immunotherapy (”allergy shots”).
