ALLERGY

Allergies can manifest as eczema, hives, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), asthma and anaphylaxis. Some can be severe or even life-threatening. Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) is associated with an increased risk of developing recurrent ear infections, sinus infections, throat problems, voice disorders as well as worsening or difficult to control asthma. Typical allergens that affect the airways include pollens (trees, grasses and weeds), house dust mites, animals and mold. Identifying allergens can lead to directed therapy and thus improvement in symptoms. Treatment includes avoidance measures, topical or oral medications and immunotherapy.

At Suburban ENT we have a board certified allergist-immunologist, Dr. Anne Marie Ditto. Dr. Ditto has extensive experience in treating a variety of allergic diseases such as drug allergy, food allergy, asthma, urticaria (hives), allergic rhinitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, eosinophilic disorders, venom (stinging insect) allergy and anaphylaxis.
