How can I control my child’s asthma symptoms?

Pediatric Asthma

Effective asthma treatment includes a combination of long-term symptom management and instant relief.  Every person who has received an asthma diagnosis should have a supply of asthma inhalers and asthma nebulizers on hand in case of an asthma attack.  Instant relief asthma medications are essential to proper asthma care as well as your peace of mind.  When your child goes to school with the best asthma inhaler on the market, you can rest assured that your child is well protected from their invasive asthma symptoms.  In addition to at-home asthma treatment, proper pediatric asthma care also includes regular visits to your asthma doctor.

Allergy and Asthma

Be sure to visit a qualified allergist as soon as you notice any signs of asthma in your child.  Facing an asthma attack without the proper asthma medication and asthma treatments can be one of the scariest things to experience as a child or parent.  However, regular visits to your asthma doctors will help to ensure that you are receiving the most effective treatment possible.  Sadly, there is no asthma cure; however, that doesn’t mean your child can’t live a full and normal life!  Anyone suffering from pediatric or adult onset asthma can lead a complete life with the proper medical treatment.

How can I tell the difference between allergies and sinus congestion?

Sinus Relief

Severe sinus pressure can sometimes be hard to distinguish from nasal allergies.  If you’ve been experiencing any discomfort in your nasal passages, schedule an appointment with an allergist as soon as is convenient for you.  Allergy and Asthma Clinical Centers provides comprehensive allergy treatment to patients of all ages in the DC metro area.  If you are indeed suffering from sinusitis, we can prescribe extremely effective medication to eradicate your sinus pressure and sinus congestion within a few days.  However, we may also administer a skin allergy test to see if your problems stem from allergies and not pressure in your sinuses.

Allergy and Asthma

Springtime will be on us in just a few months, and for millions of Americans that means dealing with seasonal allergies.  If you have to deal with the allergy symptoms that go along with dust mite allergies, pollen allergies or tree allergies, you can preempt your allergic reactions with the proper medication now.  The proper allergy remedies can make a world of different when dealing with seasonal allergies, nasal allergies, skin allergies or ocular allergies.  In addition to complete allergy treatment, we also provide total asthma treatment for the whole family.  Whether you are in need of pediatric asthma information or a prescription for asthma inhalers, schedule an appointment with an asthma doctor today.

How do I know if I have medication allergies?

Iodine Allergies

Most people with medication allergies aren’t aware of the issue until they interact with the medication.  In order to prevent discomfort and dangerous health conditions, be sure to get tested for medicinal allergies right away.  Allergy and Asthma Clinical Centers provides comprehensive allergy tests for the whole family!  Just a few of the most common medication allergies we have encountered include iodine allergies, medical tape allergies and penicillin allergies.  Your allergy test will also check for many other common allergens such as dust mites, pollen and different types of grass.  Skin allergy testing is usually the most effective way to determine your specific set of allergies.

Signs of Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inextricably linked; for this reason, we also provide complete asthma care for children and adults alike.  There are some telltale signs of asthma that can often be misunderstood as less serious allergy symptoms.  Some of the most common signs of asthma include uncomfortable shortness of breath and uncontrollable wheezing.  The best pediatric asthma care includes a full regimen of asthma treatment as well as daily and emergency use of an asthma inhaler and asthma nebulizer.  Be sure to schedule an appointment with an allergist right away to distinguish your child’s severe allergies from a potential asthma diagnosis.
