Treating Your Allergies

01/15/2019

At Coastal Ear, Nose, & Throat we understand how frustrating allergies can be. That’s why we offer allergy testing at our offices throughout the week. Whether you think you suffer from environmental or seasonal allergies, let us help you determine the best solution for your needs. Let’s address the different types of allergies.

Seasonal Allergies

Seasonal allergies often occur with the change of season and affect your ears, nose, throat, or all three at the same time. Allergens are typically harmless but can create a severe immune response in some individuals. Seasonal allergens may be due to mold spores, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, etc. If an allergen is able to enter the eyes, mouth or nose, it generates an allergic reaction. In response you may begin to have watery or itchy eyes, itchy ears, sneezing, nasal discharge, headaches, sinus infections, dizziness, or congestion. The list goes on. Dealing with seasonal allergies is not an easy feat. Immunotherapy or pharmacotherapy are two of the treatment options for this kind of allergy.
