Seasonal Allergy Relief Medicine in Laredo, TX

An allergic reaction occurs when the body tries to fend off a foreign substance that has entered the body. Pollen, insect bites/stings, pet dander, and some foods are common culprits. Of course, not everyone has allergies; they can develop at any age, regardless if your parents had them or not. In these ways, seasonal allergies are quite unpredictable, and you usually only learn of them and their severity during a reaction.

If you have never been diagnosed with allergies but think you might have them, tests can be ran to determine what is causing allergy symptoms. Symptoms can usually be prevented or controlled to improve quality of life. Treatment depends on how your body reacts to certain allergies and the severity of those symptoms, as everyone has different severity of reactions. We will determine what is the best medicine and treatment for you, ensuring you can live the life you want.

Generally, allergies can be traced back to our genes. If our parents were allergic to something, there is a strong possibility that we will develop an aversion to it at some point. Dr. Erik Sloman-Moll, MD PA provides allergy relief medicine in our Laredo, TX office. Call us today!

Symptoms & Treatment

Symptoms range depending on what substance the body is fighting off and how severe reactions to it are. However, common symptoms include sneezing, runny nose, congestion, hives, swelling of the affected area, throat discomfort, itching, wheezing, or anaphylaxis. 

If allergies have started to affect your life, especially if allergies have given you breathing problems, you should consider getting tested to see what exactly is causing reactions (if you don’t already know). We’ll also want to learn more about how serious your reactions are, as your treatment depends on this. For those with severe reactions, an epinephrine pen can be an actual lifesaver. If your symptoms are milder, antihistamines alone can help.
