Do you suffer from nasal congestion, sneezing, or itchy eyes and nose?

We offer private allergy assessments with our ENT specialists. You will receive a prompt appointment without the need for a referral, along with a treatment plan designed to effectively relieve your allergy symptoms. We will help identify the cause of your symptoms and provide a tailored treatment plan to ease your discomfort and improve your quality of life.

Allergy is a condition caused by hypersensitivity to various substances, also known as allergens. For example, it may be a reaction to certain foods, insect stings, medications, substances that come into contact with the skin, or something we inhale. It is not known why some people react to certain allergens while others do not. However, it is known that both heredity and the environment — such as the level of exposure to an allergen — play an important role in the development of allergies. Allergies are very common and are often more pronounced during childhood and adolescence. In adulthood, symptoms often become less severe.

Symptoms

Allergies can cause symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose, watery eyes, coughing, and difficulty breathing. They may also cause itching and sneezing, especially during pollen season or after exposure to dust and animal hair.

For some people, allergy symptoms may resemble those of a common cold. If you experience severe or persistent symptoms, it is important to consult a doctor.

How does our allergy assessment work?

Our Otorhinolaryngology specialists carry out a comprehensive assessment, including a review of your medical history, a nasal examination, skin prick testing and, if necessary, blood tests to identify allergens.

Please note: We do not investigate allergies related to food or medication.

Treatment options for allergies

Allergies are preferably treated with anti-allergy medication and, where appropriate, allergy vaccination, also known as hyposensitisation. We will provide you with a personalised treatment plan to reduce your allergy symptoms, whether you are allergic to pollen, dust mites or animals. Before the skin prick test, you must avoid certain medications, especially antihistamines. You should stop taking this medication 5 days before the test.
