Our allergy specialists have decades of experience delivering relief from allergies.
Although indoor allergens can affect you at any time of the year, you’re most likely to notice them in the winter when you’re spending most of your time inside. In addition, the dry indoor air can inflame your nasal passages and make them more prone to irritation.
When your body releases histamines in response to an allergen, they can cause your eustachian tubes to swell. This swelling can trap fluid in your middle ear, making you more susceptible to painful ear infections.
Histamines can cause inflammation of your larynx, resulting in hoarseness, a raspy voice, or total voice loss. Treating allergy-related laryngitis requires identifying the irritant responsible for your symptoms and developing a treatment plan to relieve your symptoms.
Chronic sinusitis is an inflammation of your sinuses that endures for 12 weeks or longer. In many cases, this chronic inflammation is due to allergens that swell the nasal lining and block the airway passages. This causes sinus pain, sinus pressure, nasal congestion, and more.
Hay fever is a common cause of nasal drainage. When your body encounters an allergen (like pollen), the histamines it releases can cause nasal drainage and discharge.
In many cases, our providers can relieve your allergy symptoms with medications, including antihistamines, decongestants, corticosteroids, mast cell inhibitors, and more. During your experience with our South Florida office, our providers will identify the underlying cause of your allergens and help you determine which combination of medications can relieve your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
