Allergy and Immunotherapy

An Allergy Clinic provides specialized diagnosis and management for allergic conditions like asthma, rhinitis, and eczema.

Patients learn to identify their specific environmental or food triggers through testing, such as skin prick tests.

Understanding their allergens empowers them to implement avoidance strategies effectively.

Immunotherapy, often called allergy shots, is a long-term treatment that can modify the immune system's response.

Patients learn that immunotherapy aims to build tolerance to allergens, reducing the severity of allergic reactions.

This treatment can lead to sustained symptom relief and potentially prevent the development of new allergies.

Education covers the commitment required for immunotherapy, including regular injections over several years.

They learn about the potential for reduced reliance on daily allergy medications.

The clinic also educates on managing acute allergic reactions and using emergency medications like epinephrine.

Patients gain knowledge about improving their indoor air quality and minimizing allergen exposure at home.

It provides a comprehensive approach to managing chronic allergic diseases rather than just symptomatic relief.

This empowers patients to take control of their allergies and significantly improve their quality of life.
