Allergy & Asthma Treatments

When we know precisely what’s triggering your allergic symptoms, we can create a treatment plan that’s tailored to you. We’ll work closely with you, discussing your options and building a path forward that brings you relief.

Allergy treatments

• Allergy shots
• Sublingual immunotherapy (tablets that dissolve under the tongue)
• Medication to relieve symptoms (oral allergy medicine, nasal sprays, anti-itch creams)
• Challenge tests to build a tolerance to food or drug allergies

Asthma treatments

• Controller medications for daily use
• Inhaled medications to open the airway
• Oral medications
• Quick relief or rescue medication for asthma flare-ups
• Biologics (injections or infusions) for severe asthma

Penicillin Allergies

It’s estimated that roughly 10 percent of Americans have had an adverse reaction to penicillin at some point. A reaction can range from red, itchy or bumpy skin to a more serious anaphylactic reaction, when the airway begins to swell and close.

An accurate diagnosis – including knowing who’s allergic and who can safely take the medication – can help reduce antibiotic resistance. Also, penicillin is an effective and inexpensive medicine.

The Allergy Clinic at the Medical Group of the Carolinas - Medical Affiliates - North Grove can help you better understand your allergies and give you peace of mind that your diagnosis is accurate.
