Sinusitis
Sinusitis is a condition that causes inflammation in the sinuses and can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. Acute or new-onset sinusitis lasts for less than 4 weeks, while chronic sinusitis lasts for more than 12 weeks. If youâ€™ve been experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may have sinusitis. Fortunately, our team can help.
Medical Weight Loss
GERD, or acid reflux is often treated with a change in lifestyle, including weight loss, avoiding GERD triggers including caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco and scheduling specific mealtimes. A moderate dosage of a â€œproton pump inhibitor,â€ such as omeprazole, may also be recommended by your allergist. If GERD is the cause of your chronic cough, it may take weeks or even months for reflux therapy to take effect.
Ear Infections
Recurrent infections are a common problem and can greatly affect work, school, and quality of life. The most common recurrent infections are ear infections, sinus infections, bronchitis, and pneumonia. There are several causes of recurrent infections, including
Infectious Diseases
Your immune system functions as the bodyâ€™s first line of defense against infectious diseases brought on by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. This system aids in detecting and eliminating foreign pathogens but may have trouble doing so when it is not working properly.
Bronchitis
Pneumonia
Immunizations
Treatment of underlying medical conditions: Chronic sinus problems, acid reflux (heartburn), obesity, and other conditions may aggravate asthma. It is important that these problems be addressed in order to have optimal control of asthma. Since viral infections are common triggers of asthma, yearly flu vaccinations are also recommended for patients with asthma.

Ophthalmologists

Eye Exam
A physician can diagnose an eye allergy by evaluating your symptoms and performing an eye examination. With the help of an allergist, skin tests

Endoscopy
An endoscopy performed by a trained gastroenterologist is the most reliable method for diagnosing EE. The gastroenterologist uses an endoscope, a tiny tube put through the mouth, to examine the esophagus, stomach, and part of the small bowel. Biopsies (tissue samples) are collected during this process to confirm diagnosis.
Lung Cancer

X-Rays
Computed Tomography
May be recommended to evaluate the immune system, and X-rays or CT scans may be performed to detect any internal abnormalities. Lung function tests may also be performed for severe respiratory symptoms to ensure your lungs are working properly. With an accurate diagnosis of whatâ€™s causing your recurrent infections, our Allergy Partners team can create an individualized treatment plan.

Eczema
Risk factors including the presence and severity of eczema as well as the presence of any other food allergy should be considered in order to help determine the safest way to introduce peanut.

Allergies
While skin tests remain the gold standard and most common form of allergy testing, they may not be appropriate for everyone. Infants and very young children, those taking specific medications, or those with certain medical conditions often benefit from a secondary option: blood testing. When our immune system overreacts to an environmental trigger an allergic reaction occurs producing heightened levels of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the bloodstream. Interpreting the results of blood-based allergy tests requires expert knowledge and experience. Our allergists are specialty trained to analyze your results to pinpoint your allergic triggers.
