Understanding Allergies and Their Impact
Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a typically harmless substance, such as pollen, dust, food, or pet dander. These reactions can affect the skin, respiratory system, digestive tract, and even the cardiovascular system. At Baytown Internal Medicine, we understand how allergies can interfere with daily comfort, energy levels, and overall well-being. That’s why we offer comprehensive allergy testing and personalized treatment to help patients gain control over their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Common Symptoms and When to Get Tested
Allergy symptoms vary depending on the trigger and may include sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, coughing, hives, stomach discomfort, or shortness of breath. Seasonal allergies, food allergies, and environmental sensitivities are among the most common. If you’re experiencing recurring symptoms, have a family history of allergies, or have unexplained reactions after meals or environmental exposure, allergy testing can help identify the cause and guide effective treatment.
Our Process: Testing and Treatment Options
At Baytown Internal Medicine, our allergy evaluation starts with a detailed discussion of your symptoms and medical history. We then perform targeted allergy testing, which may include skin prick tests or blood tests to identify specific allergens. Based on your results, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include antihistamines, nasal sprays, lifestyle adjustments, or allergy immunotherapy (desensitization). We also educate patients on how to avoid triggers and manage flare-ups safely and effectively.
