For many Atlanta patients asthma creates constant uncertainty, affecting work, exercise, social activities and more. At Chacko Allergy, Asthma and Sinus Center we are committed to identifying the right solutions for each individual, whether your asthma is triggered by allergies, infections, irritants, medications or weather conditions.
When nasal inflammation lasts for 12 weeks or more you are likely to have chronic sinusitis. When you visit our welcoming Atlanta office, our allergist will diagnose the condition and identify the root cause of these ongoing and recurring sinus infections. Our treatment approach addresses the immediate infection, while also preventing future issues by treating allergies and other triggers.
Food allergies are a consistent problem for many of the children and adults who come to our Atlanta center. A food allergy could start with a minor reaction to consuming a particular food. However, it doesn’t mean that the allergic reactions will remain minor or stable. An individual may grow out of their allergy or the allergic reactions could become more severe.
Another main function of our Atlanta office is performing allergy testing to discover what is causing a reaction. Skin prick testing is the most common test, with a small needle prick allowing an allergen to enter the body. If a red bump appears, this indicates an allergy to the substance. Alternatively, blood testing or an oral challenge test can find out what is causing your allergy.
Our doctors are highly regarded for their immunotherapy treatments that have helped countless patients in Atlanta and across Georgia. Immunotherapy, also referred to as allergy shots, is used to prevent allergic reactions from pollen, dust, mold and other substances. Rush immunotherapy is similar to traditional allergy shots, but the desensitization period is shortened to a period of weeks.
Oral immunotherapy is another proven food-allergy treatment option. This process uses oral consumption of food in small doses to build tolerance over a 6-12 month period.
