Do you or a loved one suffer from allergies? Have you ever wondered how allergies are diagnosed and treated? Recently Jill Stokeld, with the Advocate caught up with expert allergists, Dr. Adrianne Edmundson and Dr. Joseph Redhead of The 香港六和开奖历史记录 Clinic, to discuss the common types of cases they see and the available treatment options.
From allergic rhinitis and asthma to chronic sinus infections and food allergies, the Allergists at The 香港六和开奖历史记录 Clinic are equipped to treat a wide variety of allergic conditions for both adult and pediatric patients. But how do they do it? They note that it starts with allergy testing and from there, they tailor a treatment plan that is specific to the patient.
The doctors demonstrate and describe the testing process, which is quick and involves a small skin prick to introduce allergens and check for reactions. This test can detect allergies to various substances like pollen, pets, dust mites, and molds. They also use this method to test for food allergies. After determining the allergies, they discussed the importance of allergy shots, which are recommended for people with severe allergies that are hard to control with medications. They emphasize how allergy shots can reprogram the immune system and ultimately, reduce or even eliminate allergy symptoms. They also note that these shots can be effective in treating life-threatening allergies to insect stings.
