Not all allergies are exactly alike. The allergens that trigger a patient’s symptoms as well as the symptoms themselves can all differ. To treat your allergies, however, it is important to first identify what is causing them, which can be done by performing some simple tests. Moreover, there are multiple methods available to treat allergies, some of which can even help patients build up a tolerance to a specific allergen.

Allergy Treatment Methods

After we identify any and all allergens that are causing your symptoms, we can begin creating a proper treatment plan. Our office in The Woodlands provides a variety of treatments that include the following:

Asensa Drops®

Asensa Drops are a breakthrough in allergy technology and allow patients to target their unique allergies through a custom-mixed solution, which is applied directly under the tongue. It is a treatment that is relatively new in the U.S., but commonly used throughout Europe.

Allergy Shots

A treatment method that is used to build up a tolerance to certain allergens are allergy shots. Throughout the initial phase of this treatment, you will receive frequent injections that carry larger and larger amounts of the targeted allergen. As your tolerance to it builds up, you will receive fewer injections.

Allergy Testing

To treat your allergies, the providers at Texas ENT Specialists must first run some tests to definitively identify what is triggering your symptoms. In some cases, you may be able to avoid a specific allergen, particularly if you are only allergic to certain foods or a particular drug. If not, however, we can work on a treatment plan for you.

Here are some of the allergy testing Texas ENT Specialists can provide:

Environmental Allergies

To test if you are allergic to certain environmental elements like pollen, dust mites, or mold, we would inject you with tiny amounts of these allergens and monitor the site.

Drug Allergies

Our team also offers drug allergy testing, which can be done through a number of methods, including oral testing, patch testing, and a skin prick test.

Food Allergies

Food can cause allergies as well, so we can test you for these allergies using a blood test, a skin prick test, or through an elimination diet.

Biologic Therapy

If you are experiencing symptoms caused by an inflammation-related condition like asthma or nasal polyps, biologic or biological therapy can target certain areas of the immune system to prevent inflammation from occurring.
