Allergies
An allergic reaction occurs when your immune system becomes hypersensitive to a substance or food that is typically harmless. Allergies can be individual to each person, showing the importance of receiving a personalized approach. Allergies can affect all ages, but children can be particularly susceptible to certain substances. The team at Chacko Allergy, Asthma and Sinus Center first looks to understand the cause of your allergy, and then recommends the best allergy treatment approach for your situation.
Allergy treatment solutions typically fall into one of the following four categories:
- A medicinal treatment
- Improving your environment
- Allergy shots
- Auto-injectors

Asthma
Asthma is a lung condition that causes breathing difficulties. Inflammation of the airways, along with a build-up of mucus, makes it harder to transport air to the lungs. Today an estimated 10–12% of children suffer from asthma, and most people with asthma are diagnosed in childhood. Failure to diagnose asthma and seek an effective course of action can be life-threatening, making it critical that you seek medical attention. We work with patients to control asthma attacks and minimize the impact on their day-to-day life.
Some common symptoms of asthma include:
- Shortness of breath
- Constantly tired
- Tight chest
- Wheezing
If you suspect asthma is impacting you or one of your family members, request an appointment today. Learn more about Chacko Allergy, Asthma and Sinus Center’s asthma treatment solutions.
Food Allergies
Food allergies occur when the immune system has an adverse reaction to certain food types. While food allergies are common, most reactions will be mild. However, severe cases cause breathing difficulties and even anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction. Obtaining an accurate diagnosis is an essential step to managing a food allergy. Chacko Allergy, Asthma and Sinus Center works with patients of all ages to find the best options for living with food allergies.
Food allergies usually fall into one of the following groups:
- Peanuts
- Tree nuts
- Milk
- Egg
- Shellfish
- Wheat
- Soy
You don’t always know what ingredients are used in producing the foods you purchase at the store, but it’s absolutely crucial to know what you are feeding your family. Learn more about our food allergy treatment options, immunotherapy and oral immunotherapy today.
Sinuses
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinuses. It leads to facial pain, headaches, and a blocked or runny nose. Most sinus infections are viral, offering only temporary discomfort. Sinusitis could, however, be bacterial or fungal, therefore requiring antibiotics – and in some cases, surgery. There is a range of treatments for sinusitis, from home remedies to antibiotics. The team at Chacko Allergy, Asthma and Sinus Center will diagnose your condition and find an appropriate solution for you.
These are a few of the methods that can be used to diagnose sinusitis:
- Nasal endoscopy
- Imaging
- Nasal and sinus cultures
- Allergy test
Sinus issues, whether viral, bacterial or fungal, can be quite miserable with a flare-up. Learn more about the sinusitis treatment options available.
