Allergies are reactions of the immune system to substances that, in most people, cause no symptoms. Contact with allergens can cause symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, headache, and more. Allergies affect more than 60 million people in the United States. It is the 5th most prevalent chronic disease in the U.S. among all ages, the 3rd most prevalent among children. Here at Northeast Atlanta ENT, we can test patients for allergies to dust, roach, cat, dog, molds, and a variety of grass, tree and weed pollens. In addition to environmental allergies, we can also test for a large number of food allergies.

Once your allergies have been identified, you have treatment options such as allergy shots, allergy drops, or prescription medications. The goal of allergy shots and allergy drops is to retrain the immune system not to react to these antigens. These highly effective treatments often allow a patient to be free of both symptoms and medications at the end of treatment. Contact our office today and find out how you can treat your allergies.
