Have you been coughing and sneezing a lot lately? Chances are, you may have allergies. Though not always indicative of a serious health issue, allergic reactions can be annoying to deal with. Identifying potential triggers and allergens can be difficult without help from a medical professional. Here at Concord Internal Medicine, we offer exams and treatment services to identify the source of your symptoms and help you find relief. Request a consultation at our Concord office today.
WHAT CAUSES ALLERGIES?
Allergies can be triggered by certain foods, pollen, dust mites, and many other environmental agents. The onset of these issues is linked to our genetics; therefore, no two reactions are the same. In some cases, people may experience wheezing, while others may have skin irritation after exposure to allergens. Whatever the case may be, we can provide a complete allergy panel to identify your triggers and help you avoid them.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF HAVING ALLERGIES?
Signs and symptoms of allergies depend on several factors. Your experience around your triggers is related to your specific genetic makeup and the type of allergy you have. For example, people who have food allergies may struggle with nausea, bloating, and diarrhea. Those with seasonal issues such as hay fever can experience cold-like symptoms such as stuffy nose, congestion, and swollen eyes.
HOW CAN CONCORD INTERNAL MEDICINE HELP?
Here at our Concord office, we provide comprehensive exams to identify the sources of your allergies. Once we’ve identified the triggers, you can make a conscious effort to avoid them and thereby avoid having reactions. Moreover, we can recommend and prescribe medications that can help you with allergy symptoms if you have a reaction. Medications include:
