Treatment of Allergies
ENT physicians are specifically trained to treat inhalant allergens, these include; dust, pollens, mold spores, and animal dander. A treatment plan includes medication, environmental control and immunotherapy. The office provides comprehensive care and walks the patient through the process from allergy testing to immunotherapy.
Immunotherapy is a treatment option to modify the immune system; in either a weekly injection or a daily sublingual drop.
The outcome of treatment is to decrease the response to the offending allergen. If you are struggling with allergy symptoms we have options to meet your specific need.
Meadville Medical Center, through Meadville ENT and Mercer County ENT & Audiology, is proud to offer Inspire® for patients who cannot or have unsuccessfully used CPAP therapy to treat sleep apnea.
