ALLERGY CLINIC

This clinic aims to offer a comprehensive service to diagnose and treat nasal and sinus allergies. Dr.Kiran Natarajan, Consultant ENT Surgeon heads this Department. Patients are screened for various allergies using skin prick tests. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy may be required to detect allergy related changes in the nose. Chronic nasal allergy patients are followed up periodically in this clinic.

There are few basic principles that we apply to every patient's allergy care:

  1. Using medications to control or relieve symptoms
  2. When medically advisable, treating your underlying allergies so that they bother you less
  
   
For many allergy sufferers, an ideal manner to treat your underlying allergies is immunotherapy. Immunotherapy can actually help you to become far less sensitive to the pollen, dust, mold and/or animal dander which creates your symptoms. Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) is method of allergy treatment that uses an allergen solution given under the tongue, which over the course of treatment, reduces sensitivity to allergens. By gradually making you less allergic, your threshold is raised and it therefore takes more and more exposure to trigger an allergic reaction.
