What Are Seasonal Allergies?
While the changing of seasons can be an exciting time, it also means congestion, sinus problems, inflammation, and a range of other discomforts for certain people. If you tend to experience these kinds of symptoms at various times throughout the year, then it’s possible you suffer from seasonal allergies. At The Health & Wellness Center in St. Louis, MO, we understand how seasonal allergies can negatively affect your enjoyment of life, which is why we’re happy to offer treatments to help you live more comfortably. Led by Dr. Secil Schodroski, our team specializes in diagnosing and managing allergies with a variety of medications and injections. We can also provide treatments for patients dealing with dust or pet allergies. Reach out to our office today to find out more about how we can help you get relief from seasonal allergies.
How Do Seasonal Allergy Treatments Work?
Before moving forward with treatment, Dr. Schodroski will first perform a physical exam and conduct allergen tests (such as skin patch testing or blood work) to isolate the specific cause of your symptoms. There are many possible triggers of seasonal allergies, including mold, grass, pollen, and ragweed. Once the cause has been determined, our office will recommend the appropriate decongestant, antihistamine, nasal spray, or injection to lessen your symptoms.
