ALLERGY CLINIC & TESTING

At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, we offer a dedicated Allergy Clinic that provides comprehensive evaluation, testing, and treatment for various allergic conditions affecting the nose, sinuses, throat, and respiratory tract. Our goal is to accurately identify allergy triggers and develop individualized treatment plans for lasting relief.

ALLERGY OVERVIEW

Allergies can present with symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, postnasal drip, sinus pressure, itchy eyes, and frequent throat clearing. Common allergens include dust mites, pollen, mold, pet dander, and certain foods. Identifying the exact cause is key to effective management and long-term control.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTING

We conduct detailed clinical evaluations supported by diagnostic tools such as skin prick testing, intradermal testing, blood tests (IgE levels), and nasal endoscopy when needed. These help in pinpointing specific allergens responsible for the patient’s symptoms.

PREPARATION & PATIENT HISTORY

A thorough medical and environmental history is taken to understand the patient’s exposure, symptom pattern, and previous treatments. Patients may be advised to stop antihistamines for a few days before testing to ensure accurate results.

TREATMENT APPROACHES

Once triggers are identified, treatment may involve allergen avoidance strategies, pharmacotherapy (such as antihistamines, nasal corticosteroids, leukotriene modifiers), and in select cases, immunotherapy (allergy shots or sublingual drops). Our team ensures patients are educated on how to manage their condition effectively.

IMMUNOTHERAPY OPTIONS

For persistent or severe allergies, immunotherapy offers long-term relief by desensitizing the immune system to specific allergens. This is especially beneficial for patients with allergic rhinitis, dust or pollen allergies, and asthma triggered by allergens.

FOLLOW-UP & MONITORING

Regular follow-up visits are essential to assess treatment effectiveness, make medication adjustments, and monitor for any new symptoms. We provide ongoing support to help patients maintain control over their allergy symptoms.

CONCLUSION

At Medikeri’s Super Speciality ENT Centre, our Allergy Clinic is committed to helping patients breathe better, live symptom-free, and reduce dependence on long-term medications. With advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans, we deliver precise, patient-focused allergy care for children and adults alike.
