what are allergies?
Allergies are defined as a genetic condition that will cause a person's body to respond in a way to harmless substances as if they are dangerous. Common allergies include dust mites, pollen, dog hair, bees, nuts, and more. For most people, the body's immune system is able to recognize these allergens; however, for those with overactive immune systems, the body may excessively react, causing inflammatory reactions, such as sneezing, watery eyes, asthma, hives, rashes, and more. Symptoms vary from person to person and can impact both adults and children. At ENT Facial Plastics and Sleep Disorder Center, board-certified ENT and facial plastic surgeon Dr. B. Terry Seymour provides allergy treatment to help his patients manage their allergies properly. For more information, make an appointment at his Atlanta or Lithonia, GA office today.

What Can I Expect from Allergy Treatment?
If you're suffering from sneezing, a runny nose, congestion, itchy eyes, hives, asthma, or more, it may be time to get tested for allergies. At ENT Facial Plastics and Sleep Disorder Center, Dr. Seymour performs a variety of tests to determine a person's source of allergens and how exactly to manage them. He may determine there are more than one allergens a person is allergic to, as well as the degree of the allergy. Oftentimes, allergies can be controlled with medication. Sometimes this medication could be an antihistamine, decongestant, or steroids. He can also work with individuals to determine how their environment may impact their allergies and how they can help manage their environment to keep their allergies under control.
