Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals uses advanced diagnostic techniques and personalized treatment plans to identify and manage your allergies effectively.
Understanding Allergies
Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance, such as pollen, pet dander, or certain foods, that is typically harmless to most people. These substances are known as allergens. When exposed to an allergen, your immune system releases chemicals like histamines, leading to symptoms that can range from mild to severe.
Common allergy symptoms include:
- Sneezing
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Skin rashes or hives
- Shortness of breath
- Swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat
In some cases, allergies can trigger asthma or lead to a life-threatening reaction known as anaphylaxis, which requires immediate medical attention.
Comprehensive Allergy Investigation
At MHCP, we offer a thorough allergy investigation to accurately identify the allergens causing your symptoms. Our comprehensive approach includes:
1. Detailed Medical History and Physical Examination: We begin with a detailed medical history and physical examination to understand your symptoms, their frequency, and any potential triggers. This information helps us tailor the investigation to your specific needs.
2. Blood Tests: Blood tests, such as the ImmunoCAP test, measure the levels of specific IgE antibodies in your blood. This test can identify a wide range of allergens and is particularly useful for patients with skin conditions that prevent skin testing.
Personalized Allergy Treatment Once we have identified the allergens affecting you, we develop a personalized treatment plan to manage and alleviate your symptoms. Our treatment options include:
1. Avoidance Strategies: The most effective way to manage allergies is to avoid exposure to known allergens. We provide practical advice on how to minimize exposure to allergens in your environment.
2. Medications: We may prescribe medications such as antihistamines, decongestants, or corticosteroids to relieve allergy symptoms. For asthma triggered by allergies, inhalers or other asthma medications may be necessary.
4. Emergency Action Plans: For patients at risk of severe allergic reactions, we provide emergency action plans and prescribe epinephrine auto-injectors to ensure prompt treatment in case of anaphylaxis.
