Allergies Health Center

Getting help for yourself and others is important with allergies, as some can pose serious risk to your health. Get tested so you understand what to avoid and when.

As symptoms and types of allergies change from person to person, ask your doctor, allergist or pharmacist what over-the-counter or prescription medication would work best in the treatment of your symptoms.

Because some specific allergens can trigger deadly reactions if left untreated, it is essential to get tested to learn what substances to avoid. If you discover you have a food or drug allergy, work with your allergist or health professional to inquire about additional products to avoid. Remember, allergic reactions can surpass ingestion. For example, many skin care products contain nuts and nut oils so it is vital to discuss avoidance strategies with your doctor in order to avoid accidental exposure.
