Reasons to see an allergy doctor

• Sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, or post-nasal drip
• Itchy, watery eyes
• A cough that won't go away, or wheezing and shortness of breath
• Hives or swelling that keep coming back
• Reactions to foods, medications or insect stings
• Symptoms around cats, dogs, dust or mold, or every spring and fall
• Over-the-counter allergy medicines aren't working

How a visit works

1. Talk it through. Dr. Lubitz asks about your symptoms, when they happen and what you've tried, and examines you.
2. Allergy testing in the office when it's needed, with skin test results the same visit.
3. A clear plan for your triggers: prescription medicines, practical steps at home and work, and long-term options.

Antihistamines can affect skin testing. See your first visit for which medicines to pause beforehand.

Treatments

• Prescription nasal sprays, eye drops and other medicines
• Allergy shots to reduce allergy symptoms over time
