Dr. Mark Yohe, a doctor with ima Healthcare, talks about the differences between seasonal allergies and the common cold. Dr. Yohe specializes in men’s health with an interest in joint injections and arthritis.
IN THIS EPISODE:
Exploring your options for allergy treatment can seem daunting, but the relief is worth the journey.
First, find out what you allergies you suffer from. Allergy tests are very common and can shed a great deal of light on what elements might be causing those sniffles or congestion. Even those managing their symptoms with over the counter drugs would benefit from allergy testing to pinpoint the specific irritant.
Secondly, finding a way to treat the allergy. This might include antihistamines or avoiding whatever you are allergic to. This is easier said than done in some cases – for example, no one wants to get rid of their dog but avoiding a particular kind of tree might be manageable.
Lastly, having a conversation with your doctor about ways you can live with the allergy and how to minimize the intensity of the reaction. Some people develop allergies later in life and can use a professional’s advice on whether or not they should seek allergy treatment (such as a several year long shot treatment) or get a prescription for certain times of the year.
Also in this episode – Dr. Yohe takes questions about arthritis due to accident or sports injury, a conversation about Adult Still’s disease and some information about seeing your doctor as we adjust to the new normal of COVID-19.
