Managing Allergy-Related Swelling Disorders: Expert Care for Your Health

Swelling disorders associated with allergies can significantly impact your quality of life, leading to discomfort and, in severe cases, life-threatening situations. At Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Medical Group, we offer specialized care for various allergy-related swelling disorders, ensuring you receive accurate diagnoses and effective treatments to manage your symptoms and improve your well-being.

Types of Swelling Disorders

Angioedema

Angioedema is characterized by deep skin swelling, often affecting areas such as the eyelids, lips, tongue, hands, and feet. This swelling is frequently associated with hives and can result from allergic reactions to food, insect bites, or medications. Our clinic also investigates rare causes of angioedema, including complement protein deficiencies and systemic diseases that might contribute to swelling. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment and management.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Eosinophilic esophagitis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the esophagus, where the tissue becomes inflamed due to an abnormal immune response to food allergens. This disorder can cause significant discomfort, including pain and difficulty swallowing. Our team can conduct comprehensive evaluations to identify potential food triggers and provide tailored treatment plans to alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Sinusitis/Rhinosinusitis

Individuals with allergic rhinitis, known as hay fever, may experience sinusitis or rhinosinusitis. These conditions involve swelling sinuses and nasal passages or mucous membranes, leading to congestion, sinus pressure, and discomfort. Effective management of sinusitis and rhinosinusitis often requires addressing underlying allergic triggers and using appropriate treatments to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms.

Ocular Allergies

Ocular allergies, red, puffy, itchy, or watery eyes, are common among individuals with hay fever and other allergies. Any allergen the immune system mistakenly identifies as a threat can cause swelling around the eyes. Our specialists can help identify specific allergens affecting your eyes and recommend effective treatments to manage and prevent allergic reactions.

Treatment

Swelling disorders, particularly those affecting the airways, can pose serious health risks. Our expert physicians are dedicated to diagnosing and managing the underlying causes of these conditions. We offer professional allergy testing to pinpoint specific allergens and provide personalized treatment plans, including medications to control symptoms and strategies to avoid future allergic reactions.
