From a mild inconvenience to a serious medical condition, allergies can greatly impact a person's quality of life. Chronic sniffling, pervasive itchiness, and unexpected hives can not only affect a person's quality of life but also interfere with their work, personal relationships, and even self-esteem.

While we tend to associate allergies with childhood, they can actually develop at any age, which often catches adults off guard when dealing with new allergies.

Allergy Testing & Treatments

Understanding and managing allergies effectively begins with an accurate diagnosis. At Lonestar Allergy in Palestine, Texas, we offer allergy panel tests to identify the root cause of your allergic reactions. Our allergy testing services include:

  • Inhalant Allergy Test: We test for reactions to a variety of airborne substances like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and molds that can cause respiratory allergic reactions, such as allergic rhinitis.
  • Food Allergy Test: Also called a radioallergosorbent test (RAST), we use a simple blood test to identify potential allergic reactions to a specific food protein. Common triggers, such as peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, and dairy, can be safely identified with this method, aiding in dietary planning and management.
  • Skin Allergy Test: This test uses small amounts of individual allergens on the skin to identify reactions and is commonly used for children with suspected allergies.

Once we have identified the cause of your allergies, our team at Lonestar Allergy will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan to help you avoid future allergic reactions. Treatment options may include:

  • Allergy Shots (Immunotherapy): Ideal for long-term relief, allergy shots involve a series of injections containing small amounts of allergens. Over time, these injections help your body build immunity to the allergens, reducing your symptoms.
  • Sublingual Drops (SLIT): An alternative to shots, daily sublingual drops are placed under the tongue to help the body gradually build tolerance to the allergens, offering a needle-free way to address allergy symptoms.

By seeking out allergy testing and treatment, you're not just addressing the annoying symptoms; you're taking control of your health. Continuing to endure unchecked allergies can lead to worsening symptoms, a lower quality of life, and it may even complicate other health conditions. Lonestar Allergy is dedicated to providing precise treatment plans to alleviate your discomfort and pave the way for a healthier, more resilient future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I be tested for allergies if I am taking antihistamines?

It's best to avoid taking antihistamines at least 7 days before an allergy test, as they can interfere with the results. However, speak with your doctor about any concerns or questions you have regarding medication and allergy testing.

Is allergy testing painful?

Most allergy tests are not painful, although some may cause mild discomfort. Our Lonestar team takes every precaution to ensure your comfort during testing.

Do allergies go away on their own?

Some allergies can dissipate over time, especially in children. However, most allergies will persist without proper treatment. It's important to seek help from an expert to properly manage your allergies and prevent them from worsening.
