  • Allergy Testing:

    Allergy testing is usually the first step in diagnosing allergies, and it helps identify the specific allergens causing an individual’s symptoms. This could include skin prick tests, blood tests, or patch tests.

  • Immunotherapy:

    Also known as allergy shots, immunotherapy is a long-term treatment that reduces the severity of an allergy. It involves gradually exposing the body to increasing amounts of the allergen to desensitize the immune system.

  • Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT):

    This is a newer form of immunotherapy where the allergen is placed under the tongue in a tablet or liquid form. It’s a convenient alternative to allergy shots and can be done at home.

  • Medication Management:

    Antihistamines, decongestants, nasal sprays, and eye drops are common forms of medication used to manage allergy symptoms. An ENT specialist can help determine the most effective medication regimen based on the patient’s specific allergies and symptoms.

  • Environmental Control Advice:

    This involves providing guidance on how to avoid specific allergens in your environment, which can significantly reduce allergy symptoms. This might include using air purifiers, hypoallergenic bedding, or adjusting outdoor activities according to pollen counts.

  • Sinus Care:

    Allergies often trigger sinusitis, a condition that causes inflammation and swelling of the sinus linings. Sinus care can range from medication management to procedures such as balloon sinuplasty, which can provide relief from chronic sinusitis.
