Nasal & Sinus Allergies
Nasal and sinus allergies, commonly referred to as allergic rhinitis or hay fever, are reactions to airborne allergens such as pollen, dust, or pet dander that affect the nose and sinuses. These allergies cause symptoms like sneezing, nasal discharge, and congestion, leading to discomfort and breathing difficulties. At Revere Health, we offer personalized treatment plans to help manage and reduce the symptoms of nasal and sinus allergies, improving patients’ quality of life.
Common Causes of Nasal & Sinus Allergies
Pollen: Trees, grasses, and weeds release pollen, triggering allergic reactions, particularly during spring and fall.
Dust Mites: Microscopic dust mites found in bedding and furniture can cause year-round allergy symptoms.
Pet Dander: Proteins found in the skin flakes, urine, and saliva of pets can cause allergic reactions.
Mold: Mold spores can trigger allergies, especially in damp environments.
Symptoms of Nasal & Sinus Allergies
Sneezing: Frequent sneezing, often in response to allergens.
Nasal Congestion: Blocked nasal passages, making it difficult to breathe through the nose.
Runny Nose: Clear nasal discharge due to inflammation.
Itchy Nose or Throat: Irritation in the nasal passages and throat.
Postnasal Drip: Excess mucus running down the back of the throat, sometimes causing a cough.
Treatment Options
Medications: Antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal corticosteroids help reduce allergy symptoms.
Allergy Testing: Identifying specific allergens through testing allows for more targeted treatment.
Immunotherapy: Allergy shots or sublingual tablets can help desensitize the immune system to specific allergens over time.
Environmental Controls: Reducing exposure to allergens by keeping windows closed, using air purifiers, and minimizing contact with pets.
