Allergic Rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis, commonly known as hay fever, is one of the most common chronic allergic conditions and a major contributor to poor sleep, fatigue, sinus disease, and asthma symptoms.

At Allergy Asthma & Immunology Institute, Dr. Laura Ispas provides expert evaluation and personalized treatment for seasonal and year-round nasal allergies.

Symptoms include sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, post-nasal drip, itchy eyes and throat, sinus pressure, headaches, and fatigue.

Common triggers include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold, and environmental irritants.

Diagnosis may include detailed history, skin testing, and blood testing when appropriate.

Treatment options include antihistamines, nasal sprays, leukotriene modifiers, environmental controls, and allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots) designed to modify the immune response over time.

Care is provided by an Allergy & Immunology specialist with over 25 years of clinical experience.
