Allergies

Millions of Americans suffer from allergies, which can cause problems as diverse as the people who suffer from them: stuffy nose, watery eyes, itchy nose or ears and a post-nasal drip.

Allergies cause people to miss work and school, make us downright miserable, and contribute to sinus infections, difficulty sleeping, and problems breathing.

But there is hope. Medications are available today to treat allergies that weren’t around just a few years ago. Immunotherapy (building up a protective tolerance to allergies) used to mean allergy shots, but nowadays sublingual drops can be custom-made for you to protect you against the allergies you have.

Learning about allergies and how to control them can make all the difference.
