When to See An Allergy Specialist
Filed in archive Allergy Support Groups , Allergy: Diagnostics and Treatment , Living with Allergies on August 25, 2008
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology has issued new guidelines for diagnosing and treating allergic rhinitis this month, including a checklist on when a referral to an allergist/immunologist should be sought. According to the practice parameter and the AAAAI, referral to an allergist/immunologist is called for when:
- The patient has prolonged symptoms
- The patient has complications of rhinitis, including a middle ear infection, sinus infection or nasal polyps
- The patient has asthma, chronic sinusitis or another comorbid condition
- The patient's symptoms or medication side effects interfere with his ability to sleep, work or attend school, or otherwise affect quality of life
Suffering from any or all of the above? Find an allergist/immunologist in your area using AAAAI's physicial referral directory.
