Seek Relief for Your Spring Allergies at Center for Allergy and Asthma of Georgia
With spring just around the corner, seeking relief for your seasonal allergies from our team at Center for Allergy and Asthma of Georgia is essential. Here’s why:
Diagnosing Your Spring Allergies
Many patients assume that taking an allergy pill daily is enough to keep their sniffles away — but this isn’t the case. If left undiagnosed and untreated, your spring allergy symptoms will not only continue but worsen over time.
The weather starts to warm up here in Georgia early in the season, and exposure to environmental particles can leave patients with symptoms ranging from a simple stuffy nose to anaphylaxis (a serious, potentially life-threatening reaction). The best way to get ahead of these symptoms is to treat them as early in the season as possible at one of our Center for Allergy and Asthma of Georgia locations.
Additional Conditions
An allergic reaction is an immune reaction, which means that your immune system is triggered when exposed to an allergen and works to protect your body. Therefore, an allergic reaction can trigger several other conditions such as asthma or eczema.
COVID-19 or Allergies?
In addition to treating your allergies, diagnosing the source of your symptoms helps eliminate the possibility of other respiratory conditions such as the common cold, the seasonal flu, and COVID-19. Many of the common symptoms of allergies are also common minor symptoms of COVID-19. For this reason, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible.
