My throat feels scratchy. Is it an allergic reaction?
A dry, scratchy throat is a common symptom — especially during the cold winter months when the air is dry and upper respiratory infections are spreading. Usually, a dry throat is a sign of something minor, like dryness in the air or a head cold. Looking at your other symptoms can help you figure out the cause of your dry throat, and know whether to call your doctor. No 1- Dehydration The dryness in your throat may simply be a sign that you haven’t had enough to drink. When you’re dehydrated, your body doesn’t produce as much of the saliva that normally moistens your mouth and throat. No 2 -Sleeping with your mouth open If you wake up every morning with a dry mouth, the problem might be that you sleep with your mouth open. The air dries up the saliva that normally keeps your mouth and throat moist. No 3- Hay fever or allergies Hay fever, also called seasonal allergies, is caused by an immune system overreaction to normally harmless substances in your environment. No 4- Cold A cold is a common infection that’s caused by many different viruses. The infection can make your throat feel dry and scratchy. No 5- Mononucleosis Mononucleosis, or mono, is a disease that’s caused by a virus. It passes from person to person through saliva. One of the hallmark symptoms of mono is a scratchy throat. READ MORE
Is there more than one type of allergy test?
First of all not diagnose a food allergy on your own. Self-diagnosis can lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions and inadequate nutrition, especially in children. Additionally, some people think they are allergic to a food when they actually have another type of food disorder, and treatment may differ. Some methods of food allergy testing are unproven and are considered controversial, since no definitive studies have shown that they can effectively diagnose food allergies. Some may even increase the risk of an allergic reaction. While these tests alone do not always provide clear-cut answers, it will combine your test results with the information given in your medical history to provide a diagnosis. These tests may include: 1-Skin prick test 2-Blood test 3-Oral food challenge 4-Trial elimination diet These tests are all proven diagnostic methods. Depending on your medical history and initial test results, you may have to take more than one test before receiving your diagnosis. READ MORE
My daughter suddenly developed a rash after eating a new chocolate. What should I do?
True chocolate allergies are quite rare. If you experience adverse symptoms after you eat chocolate, it is more likely that you are allergic to another ingredient in the chocolate, or that you are intolerant to chocolate. Big 8 food allergens are eggs, milk, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and shellfish. Several of these ingredients are very common in chocolate bars, cakes, brownies, puddings, etc. If you react when you eat chocolate, it is probable that you are allergic to one of these major allergens. Another type of reaction to chocolate is an intolerance. An intolerance is a reaction of your gastrointestinal system rather than your immune system, and it is a reaction to an ingredient or chemical in the chocolate, rather than the protein in the chocolate. Some examples of the chemicals in chocolate are soy lecithin, tyramine, phenylethylamine, theobromine, caffeine, flavorings, and emulsifiers. If you are concerned about a chocolate allergy, the specialists and associates at the Allergy & Sinus Centers are here to help. We offer convenient allergy testing.

What are the best ways to deal with asthma in a child?
Any child who has asthma needs a quick-relief medicine to treat the noisy part of the disease the coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath that occur with symptoms or an asthma attack. This medicine (typically an inhaler) should be with the child at all times for use at the first sign of symptoms.Avoiding triggers, using medications, and keeping an eye on daily asthma symptoms are the ways to control asthma in children of all ages. Children with asthma should always be kept away from all sources of smoke. Proper use of medication is the basis of good asthma control. Make sure your child's caregiver and school teacher has a copy of the Asthma Action Plan, so they will know how to treat the child's symptoms if she should have an asthma attack away from home.Infants and toddlers may use some of the same type of asthma drugs as older children and adults. Inhaled steroids may be key to managing infants with chronic asthma or wheezing. However, the medications are given differently to children under 4 years of age (such as with an asthma nebulizer and mask), and with lower daily doses. A low-dose of an inhaled steroid, cromolyn, or Singulair is the next step up.Depending on your young child's age, you may use inhaled asthma drugs or liquid medications delivered with an asthma nebulizer. A nebulizer delivers asthma medications by changing them from a liquid to a mist. As a mist, your child will breathe the medications through a face mask. These breathing treatments usually take about 10-15 minutes and may be given up to four times a day. READ MORE
Should I get a flu shot?
It's a good idea for everyone to get vaccinated. Children between six and 23 months, seniors, people with certain chronic medical conditions (such as heart and lung disease, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, cancer and metabolic disease), as well as residents of nursing homes and other chronic care facilities. Caregivers for these individuals should also be vaccinated because they can transmit the flu to those at high risk for complications. The flu shot is considered the best defense against influenza. Antiviral drugs are a secondary defense. These are sometimes prescribed during an outbreak to prevent influenza in people who have not been immunized or to lessen the symptoms in people who come down with the flu. It may seem like the flu is unavoidable in the fall and winter months, but it is the steps you can take to keep yourself and your family healthy this season, so you can go for flu shot. READ MORE
Why am I allergic to just soy milk and no other soy product?
With a soy allergy, your immune system identifies certain soy proteins as harmful, triggering the production of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to the soy protein (allergen). The next time you come in contact with soy, these IgE antibodies recognize it and signal your immune system to release histamine and other chemicals into your bloodstream. READ MORE
