Allergy Clinic

Most people suffer from allergies as a result of an overreaction to the immune system, typically developing from substances that are considered harmless.

Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance — such as pollen, bee venom or pet dander or a food that doesn’t cause a reaction in most people.The severity of allergies varies from person to person and can range from minor irritation to anaphylaxis a potentially life-threatening emergency. The initial consultation will include discussing the prevalent allergic symptoms with the healthcare provider – their frequency of occurrence and what seems to be the cause of the symptoms. The doctor may also inquire about the patient’s family history on allergies too.
