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.
