Allergy

Our Allergy Services

ENT & Allergy Specialist of Virginia (ENTASVA)

We specialize in allergy testing for children and adults with IgE testing, skin prick testing, and skin endpoint titration testing.

We offer two types of immunotherapy to get rid of your allergies:

1. Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) – also known as “allergy shots”
2. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) – also known as “allergy drops”

Allergy shots are performed in the office, while allergy drops are taken by you at home and without needles. Allergy drops is the preferred method for treating children, elderly, asthmatics, or individuals who do not have the time to come to the office. Allergy drops is the preferred method of allergy immunotherapy in many countries in Europe for over 20 years, and is safe and effective.

ASTHMA

Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition that is due to inflammation of the air passages. Symptoms are characterized by chest tightness, shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing, and decreased exercise tolerance. Pulmonary function testing and Spirometry can help determine the degree of asthma. Treatments include trigger avoidance, fast-acting inhalers, slow-acting inhalers, steroid treatment, or nebulizer treatments.
