When Should You Consult an Allergist?

Mild allergies can often be managed through simple over-the-counter medications such as antihistamines; however, there are instances where these medications just won’t be effective enough.

It might be time to consult our allergists here in West Des Moines, IA, and the surrounding areas if:

• You are dealing with allergy symptoms for more than a month
• Your allergy symptoms are interfering with your life and routine
• Your current medications aren’t providing you with relief
• You’re dealing with recurring sinus infections or ear infections
• Your allergies keep you up at night or interrupt your sleep
• You have allergies along with preexisting health problems such as diabetes or thyroid disorder

How Our Ankeny Allergists Can Help

When you come into our practice the first thing we will do is have the initial consultation and if needed, we will run the appropriate tests to find out what’s causing your symptoms. We will diagnose your allergies and then map out a customized treatment plan based on what’s triggering your symptoms. We will prescribe stronger and more effective medication that you won’t get over-the-counter and lifestyle modifications that help you avoid the offending allergens.

Our Comprehensive Allergy Treatment Options Include:

• Avoidance: The first line of defense is to avoid allergens as much as possible.
• Medications: Various medications can help alleviate allergy symptoms.
• Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy is a long-term treatment option that aims to desensitize the immune system to specific allergens.

Our team will continue to work with you and monitor your symptoms regularly to make sure that your symptoms are being properly managed through the treatment plan we’ve mapped out and the medications we’ve provided.

You must treat your allergy symptoms as soon as possible, as allergies can get worse and more severe if left untreated or not properly controlled.

We can work with you to find the right strategies and measures to help alleviate your allergy symptoms throughout the year.

If you are experiencing any of these problems, our allergists can help. Contact us online or call (515) 619-5179 for information regarding our allergy treatments.
