At Helios Lung & Ortho Center, we offer expert, personalized care for a wide range of allergic conditions that affect the respiratory system and overall quality of life. Allergies are among the most common chronic conditions worldwide, and they can significantly impact your day-to-day activities if left unmanaged. Our comprehensive allergy services are designed to help patients understand their triggers, control symptoms, and achieve long-term relief through modern diagnostics and individualized treatment plans.
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to substances that are typically harmless to most people, known as allergens. Common allergens include dust mites, pollen, pet dander, mold, certain foods, and environmental irritants like smoke or pollution. When exposed, sensitive individuals may experience symptoms ranging from mild sneezing and itching to severe respiratory distress.
At Helios, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of allergic disorders, including:
Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever): Sneezing, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itchy eyes.
Asthma triggered by allergens: Wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness.
Skin allergies: Eczema, urticaria (hives), and contact dermatitis.
Dust mite and mold allergies
Food and drug allergies
Sinusitis related to allergy
Chronic cough and post-nasal drip due to allergies
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective allergy management. At Helios, we use evidence-based diagnostic methods including:
Skin Prick Testing (SPT) for immediate-type allergens.
Serum IgE testing
Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) for assessing asthma severity.
FeNO (Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide) test to evaluate allergic airway inflammation.
Our testing methods are safe, quick, and highly reliable, helping us to identify specific triggers and tailor treatment accordingly.
Once allergens are identified, our team creates a customized treatment plan that may include:
Allergen avoidance counseling
Pharmacotherapy (antihistamines, corticosteroids, leukotriene inhibitors, nasal sprays)
Immunotherapy (Allergy shots or Sublingual drops) for long-term desensitization
Inhaler therapy and asthma action plans for allergic asthma
Lifestyle and nutritional advice to support immunity and minimize flare-ups
Our goal is to not just suppress symptoms but to address the root cause of your allergies, reducing dependency on long-term medications wherever possible.
