New Procedure Spells Relief for Allergy Sufferers


Dublin, OH (PRWEB) August 29, 2011

Living in Ohio is not always easy for allergy sufferers. In fact, Columbus, Ohio is ranked as one of the most challenging places to live with seasonal allergies. But, a new procedure now available in Central Ohio can transition an allergic patient into becoming ?unallergic? and offer relief before the end of the allergy season.

While traditional allergy shots are given on a weekly basis over the span of a year or more, rush immunotherapy allows patients to receive the first six doses within a span of three hours, which minimizes overall treatment by months and delivers rapid results.

“With rush immunotherapy, we use the same science of traditional allergy shots but achieve results in one day,? said Summit Shah, M.D, of Premier Allergy. ?Instead of having to wait months for your allergies or asthma to improve, you get results quicker and with fewer shots. Now patients with terrible allergies or uncontrolled asthma that couldn’t make the commitment for weekly shots can get the treatment they deserve.”

The concept behind allergy shots is similar to the flu vaccine?your immune system develops a resistance to the flu, or in the case of allergy shots, your immune system builds a tolerance for offending allergens such as ragweed, grass pollen or cat dander.

While allergy shot treatment is effective, it requires a significant time commitment. Until recently, this meant continued treatment for 3 to 5 years and symptoms were only relieved after hundreds of shots. Rush immunotherapy can show improvements within weeks with fewer visits for injections. Further, the treatment is fully covered by all major insurance companies.

?The best part about rush immunotherapy is that it’s much more convenient,” said Lennea Tinsky, a patient at Premier Allergy. “I get results faster and don’t have to make weekly trips to the doctor?s office. Rush immunotherapy is a life changing treatment.”

Established by Dr. Summit Shah, graduate of the Ohio State University College of Medicine, Premier Allergy offers the convenience of multiple office sites, early morning, evening and weekend hours and prompt appointment scheduling. We are located in Westerville, OH and Dublin, OH. We also participate in most private insurance plans, Medicaid and Medicare.

New Treatment for Allergy Sufferers Offers Relief Without Shots Allergy Drops Bring Flexibility and Comfort to Long-term Treatment Plans

(PRWEB) August 17, 2005

The feeling is all but disheartening. Anticipating the sting, the bruising and twenty minute wait afterwards to check for possible reactions. Dreading the moment when you will be called from the waiting room and into the doctor’s office where a waiting nurse pulls out a syringe, raises her eyebrows and smiles knowingly. It’s time for your weekly allergy shot.

This treatment is not unusual for many Americans suffering from allergies today. However, many patients are unknowingly wrong in thinking that these series of painful, ongoing allergy shots are their only option in the treatment and control of their allergy symptoms.

According to a study by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), more than 50 million Americans are afflicted with allergies including the most common case, chronic sinusitis. Affecting 16.3 percent of the US population, this allergy has long been thought to be treatable only by shots. However, after suffering for years from both allergies and the shots which provide their treatments, patients young and old are now discovering a method of relief unlike any other.

Physicians are now offering a method for providing relief from allergies without the inconveniences of shots and the hassle of making a trip to their physician’s office. An unknown treatment to many, allergy drops, also known as Sublingual Immunotherapy, are being used to treat allergies using standard serums common to allergy shots. Physicians are now able to provide their patients with a safe, painless means of allergy control from the convenience of the patient’s own home.

“This treatment really opens up new doors because it allows physicians to treat a patient’s allergies on the patient’s time schedule,” said Richard F. Herrscher, M.D. of AIRCare. “Patient costs may also be reduced because co-pays are not required for each visit, since the drops are given in a home environment.”

Allergy drops work just like allergy shots by giving the patient series of treatments to build up the body’s immune system over time. Allergy drops provide a safe alternative for a wide range of allergy suffers, as well as asthmatics.

“Sublingual drops are not new nor are they unusual,” said Herrscher who points to evidence of the drops use for many years throughout Europe. “Sublingual Immunotherapy is a long-awaited breath of fresh air in a world full of pollen and mold.

In Britain, allergy shots are virtually out of use, with Sublingual Immunotherapy replacing them as the prime treatment for allergies. Likewise, throughout Europe, studies show that a 42 percent reduction of allergy symptoms has been seen with a 43 percent reduction in use of medication while using this treatment.

Helpful Facts and Tips for Parents with Children Suffering from Ragweed Allergy

Transition between seasons can shake your kids’ health a bit and make them more prone to seasonal allergies. These allergic reactions vary from ragweed allergy, mites, dust, mold, and some foods. It is often very hard to keep track of allergies symptoms with children who may catch it in school or while they are playing outside.

Studies have shown that allergic reactions may be hereditary. In case both parents have allergies, there is a about an 80% chance that their children will develop allergies too. Most children show symptoms of seasonal allergies once they reach 5 years olds. Asthma is often an indicator of allergies and often start to show when they are between 1 to 3 years old.

Symptoms of Seasonal Allergy

Parents can look for three kinds of symptoms when they suspect that their kids are suffering from seasonal allergy:

* Nasal – They will have stuffy or runny nose, sneeze a lot, and have itchy nose and throat. Just like allergic rhinitis.
* Eye Symptoms – There is often redness, itchiness, and watery eyes which can make your kids really uncomfortable.

]]>

* Asthma – Watch if your kids will have difficulty breathing or when you hear some wheezing or coughing.

Tree pollens, grasses, and ragweed often cause these allergic reactions. Tree pollens are very abundant in the air between April and June. Grasses like Rye, Timothy, and Orchard trigger reactions when they are mowed. Ragweed grows almost everywhere and billions of pollens can travel in the air starting mid-August.

Protect your children from seasonal allergies

Parents should always keep track of the level of pollen in your city or region. These indices can be found on the internet and are seen on TV reports.

It will be best to keep your doors and windows shut during the pollen season to prevent these allergens from entering your home.

You can also set up a play pen inside your home instead of kids spending time outdoors where they can be exposed to ragweed and other allergens. The sun can also aggravate their photosensitivity when they have ragweed allergy.

Remember to keep all surfaces clean of dust. You can get an air filter to make sure that your kids breathe clean air.

In case they still catch seasonal allergies, you can try the following to relieve them of the symptoms:

* A warm bath always helps. You can also apply warm compress to decongest their nose and sinuses.
* Encourage them to drink a lot of water throughout the day. A cup of tea with honey can also soothe their itchy throat.
* Tell your kids not to scratch their eyes since this will just worsen the condition. Try to apply cold compress to decrease inflammation or wipe them with wet cotton pads.
* A dab of petroleum jelly can help with their red or swollen nose
* Add some ginger, garlic, or pepper when you serve a bowl of soup. These are natural decongestants to clear their airways.
* You can dissolve 2 teaspoons of salt in a glass of water which your kids can use to gargle with to relieve their sore throats.

Allergies can be fatal when you do not do something about it. Seek the guidance of your pediatrician if your children will need some medications for their allergies.

Seasonal Allergy and the Common Cold

Every year millions of Americans suffer from seasonal allergy. However, a certain percentage of those who suffer from seasonal allergies dismiss it as chronic cold. To better understand this, we need to define and differentiate it from the common cold.  

Unlike colds that occur during winter or usually when there is a sudden change in temperature, allergies are caused by allergens. This causes an allergic reaction on the bodily function of a human sensitive to that particular allergen which is not experienced by the average individual.     

Allergic rhinitis can be classified as perennial and seasonal.  Perennial allergies happen any time of the year as long as the individual is exposed to the allergen such as house dust mites and pet dander.  Seasonal allergies on the other hand happen at the same time every year or during particular seasons, hence the term. These are caused by pollens of flowering plants which are transported thru the air during the process of pollination.  

]]>

When a person has colds, he starts to sneeze then later begins to have runny and congested nose. Sneezing is less common after the initial phase. If one has allergies, symptoms happen at the same time. Sneezing is more frequent coupled with runny nose and watery eyes. Itching of the nose and eyes are particularly bothersome in allergies. In several cases though, this develops into allergic rhinitis and asthma. And unlike colds that usually last from 7 to 10 days, allergies continue until the person is no longer exposed to the allergen.  

Ragweed allergy, also known as fall allergy or hay fever, is the most common seasonal allergy. This occurs from mid August until October. About 75% of allergic individuals develop become allergic to ragweed pollen.  Ragweed thrives in vacant lots and roadsides. Studies also mentioned that that most of those allergic to ragweed also develop allergic reactions to other pollens. Thus it is not surprising that they develop allergic symptoms during spring and summer when pollen grains from flowering trees and grasses are present in the air.   

The nasal discharge of people who have colds is usually yellowish which means that it is caused by an infection. Sometimes colds are also accompanied by fever. Those who suffer from seasonal allergies do not usually have fever, and since it is not caused by any viral or bacterial infection, the nasal discharge is clear and watery.  

Whether the sickness is caused by a cold or is a sesonal allergy, it still takes a toll on one’s health. In both cases there is a loss in appetite and sleeping problems also occur that disrupts how a person conducts his normal activities. Prevention is still the cure. Proper information too helps in the diagnosis of the ailment so that the appropriate medication can be taken.

Seasonal Allergy Tips

As fall kicks off, the statistics for allergic reactions go sky high. About 50 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergy caused by ragweed and other weed pollens, and mold spores. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology estimates that 20% of the U.S. population suffers from allergies symptoms on a regular basis.  

A lot of people cannot sleep, work, and do their daily routines because of ragweed allergies causing uncontrollable sneezing, runny nose, itchy and watery eyes, and coughing.

Here are some tips which can help you during the allergy season:

1. Apply the cold pack to your eyes and your face since it can help a lot in relieving the itching, swelling and irritation.  

2. Get a HEPA air cleaner to filter particles which are about 20 microns or smaller. Pollens and allergens are about that big small so these devices will help in cleaning the indoor air of your home

]]>

3. You can also try to nasal saline irrigation to help remove trapped allergens and excess mucus.  

4. Horseradish, hot mustard, and chili pepper on your favorite dish can increase nasal secretions and help cleanse your nasal membranes of pollens and other particles.

5. Wear sunglasses when you go outdoors. Hay fever or allergic rhinitis brings with it some photosensitivity. The sunglasses can help protect your eyes from the sun’s heat and irritation.

Other unproven ways to respond to seasonal allergy that you may want to consider:

1. Stay away from dairy products. As much as they are really enjoyable, dairy products will trigger your body to produce more phlegm and just worsen your symptoms.

2. Eat healthy. Make sure that your diet will be rich in Vitamin C which can boost your immune system and acts as a naturally antihistamine. You can also take about 1000 mg of Vitamin C on a daily basis to shield yourself from ragweed allergy and other seasonal allergies. Omega-3 rich food like flaxseed, salmon, and walnuts will also help.  

3. Magnesium can also help to ease your breathing. About 400 mg is ideal according to immunologists.

Consult your allergy doctor so you can be tested for allergies. Most often than not, people who have allergies are also sensitive to some foods that they usually take. Some people who are allergic to birch pollen, for example, also react to potatoes, carrots, and apples. Ragweed allergy is also aggravated if you do not react well to a glass of milk.  

Find out what allergens cause you trouble so you can avoid them, modify your lifestyle, and protect yourself from these seasonal allergies.

Seasonal allergy and ragweed allergy have no permanent cure but they can be controlled. Get more information and participate on a research study on investigational oral immunotherapy at www.ragweedallergycincinnati.com
