The
LIENT Allergy Department provides services
involving the diagnosis and treatment of Inhalant allergies
-
environmental allergies that are inhaled through the
nose and throat: including different tree, grass,
and weed pollens, molds, pet hair, and dander, dust
and dust mites.
As most people are aware, allergies can be annoying
and interfere with normal daily activities. Allergies
can also cause and lead to chronic sinus problems or
infections, chronic runny nose and cough, nasal polyps,
asthma and chronic skin conditions such as eczema.
After
being evaluated and referred by one of LIENT Physicians,
you will have a detailed allergy history taken, and skin
testing will be performed. The results of the testing will
be explained at this visit, and treatment options will
be discussed in detail (including environmental exposure
controls, medication use and allergy shots). Immunotherapy
(allergy shots) is also a service at LIENT.
