Treatment for Allergies with an ENT

When you see an ENT specialist for your allergies, you will be able to discover how serious your allergies are, and what is causing them. Once you go through an evaluation, further testing can be done to diagnose what you are specifically allergic to. Skin tests and blood work can both help to identify your allergy triggers, making it possible to know more about what you should be trying to avoid. Treatment can involve antihistamines to reduce or eliminate symptoms, or immunotherapy in the form of allergy shots.
