Allergies manifest when your body’s immune system reacts to foreign substances, ranging from grass pollen and mould to cat hair. While some experience allergies as mere discomfort, with symptoms like itchy eyes and a runny nose, others face potentially life-threatening reactions due to triggers like bee stings, nuts, medications, or latex. This severe reaction, known as anaphylaxis, can pose a serious threat. Whether your allergies are a nuisance or a danger, our team of allergy doctors is here to offer support and solutions.
Our allergy specialists address seasonal allergies through various approaches, including nasal rinses, sprays, antihistamines, decongestants, injections, and oral medications. Lifestyle changes like indoor stay and regular house cleaning to reduce dust might also be recommended. For individuals with food allergies or susceptibility to bee stings, our allergy doctors can prescribe appropriate medications.
Certain allergies result from immune system disorders, necessitating specialised treatments from immunology experts. The realm of immunology encompasses conditions such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, and multiple sclerosis (MS).
