• Emergency Care
  You may experience a small area of redness and itching after an injection. This may be treated with a cold compress and by taking an antihistamine. A reaction should be reported if the area of redness, itching, or swelling is larger than a 50-cent piece. If this occurs, the allergy office should be notified so your next injection can be adjusted appropriately. Failure to report a reaction like this does not allow us to provide the safest and best treatment. You can call (325) 437-3687 twenty four hours a day to report a reaction. Rarely a systemic reaction may occur that could include symptoms such as facial swelling, hives, wheezing, or changes in your heart rate or blood pressure. Since this type of reaction usually occurs within minutes of receiving an injection, you should wait in the allergy office for 15-20 minutes after each shot is given. All minors should be accompanied by an adult during this time, unless other arrangements have been made. If these symptoms occur after you leave the office you should immediately return to the office or go directly to your nearest emergency room.

Allergists

• Allergies
  If multiple allergies are identified during allergy testing, immunotherapy may be your best treatment option for this condition. With immunotherapy you will be given scheduled injections. These injections are made up of very small amounts of the allergens you were found to be allergic to. Each patient’s treatment vial is individually formulated and mixed in accordance to your specific allergy testing results. At the beginning of your treatment you will be given very small doses of your offending allergens. Each week your dose will be increased, until you reach your maintenance dose. When this maximum tolerated dose is reached, your body produces blocking antibodies, which in effect immunizes your body against these offending allergens. After you reach your maintenance dose your injections are typically continued for 3-5 years. During this time you will be required to see your doctor at least once a year to make sure immunotherapy is controlling your symptoms. After 3-5 years you and your doctor will determine if you can be tapered off your injections or if they should be continued.
