Cough

Allergy-related cough is typically a “dry” cough, meaning you probably won’t cough up any mucus or phlegm. It can become chronic, lasting for several weeks at a time.

Allergies

Allergy symptoms happen when your immune system goes into overdrive attacking something that poses no real threat to most people, but triggers a bodily reaction in anyone sensitive to the substance.

Food Allergies

Food allergy is an immune system reaction that occurs soon after eating a certain food. Even a tiny amount of the allergy-causing food can trigger signs and symptoms such as digestive problems, hives or swollen airways.

Sinus & Headache

Besides facial pain, sinus headaches cause other symptoms, including: fever. stuffy nose. thick, colored mucus discharge from the nose, feeling of fullness in the ears or swollen or puffy face.

Drug Allergies

A drug allergy is an allergy to a drug, most commonly a medication, and is a form of adverse drug reaction.

Asthma

Asthma is a long-term inflammatory disease of the airways of the lungs. It is characterized by variable and recurring symptoms, reversible airflow obstruction, and easily triggered bronchospasms.

My role is to guide the patient in the right direction and provide the tools and medicines for optimal health.
