Common questions you may have about allergies

What are allergies?

Allergies are your body's response to foreign proteins or substances known as allergens. These proteins are typically harmless, but your immune system may produce antibodies that mistakenly identify an allergen as harmful. This can lead to inflammation in the sinuses, airways, or skin.

What are the typical symptoms of allergies?

Common allergy symptoms include sneezing, itching, coughing, chest tightness, anaphylaxis, a runny or stuffy nose, watery eyes, swelling, hives, rashes, and wheezing.

Will I need to go to a lab?

Not necessarily. Our doctors will assess your symptoms to decide if a lab test is needed. However, if your allergies are severe, a lab visit might be required.

What causes allergies?

Allergies can affect anyone, and the exact reasons why some people develop allergies while others do not remain unclear. However, both genetic and environmental factors play a role. If you have allergies, your immune system becomes overly sensitive, triggering a chemical response that releases histamines, leading to allergy symptoms.
