Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between allergic and nonallergic rhinitis?

Allergic rhinitis is triggered by allergens (e.g., pollen, dust mites), while nonallergic rhinitis is driven by irritants or temperature changes and doesn’t involve allergy antibodies. Both can cause sneezing, runny nose, and congestion; treatment plans differ.

How is asthma typically treated?

Avoiding triggers is foundational. Acute symptoms often respond to quickrelief inhalers, while persistent asthma usually needs daily controller medications; athletes with exerciseinduced asthma can remain active with proper warmups and inhaler timing.

Can immunotherapy (“allergy shots”) help me?

For patients who don’t improve with medications, have unavoidable exposure, or experience side effects, allergen immunotherapy can reduce symptom intensity over time. Programs typically run 3–5 years with results building gradually.

What if I suspect a food allergy?

See us promptly. Diagnosis starts with history and may include skin testing. Strict avoidance is the mainstay; individuals with severe allergy should carry injectable epinephrine and have an emergency plan.

I get hives without a clear reason—what now?

Many cases of chronic hives don’t have an identifiable cause. We’ll review medications and triggers (e.g., aspirinlike drugs), and tailor antihistamines or other therapies based on severity.
