Welcome to East Side Allergists
NYC Allergy, Asthma and Sinus Specialists
Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment of Allergies
Allergies, one of the world’s most common chronic conditions, begins in the immune system. Normally, our immune system protects us from illness causing organisms. But, if you have an allergy, your immune system treats harmless substance as though they are harmful. The immune system overreacts to the harmless substance (allergen) and produces Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that travel to cells to release histamine and other chemicals, which cause your allergic reaction.
Allergic reactions trigger symptoms in the nose, lungs, throat, sinuses, ears, lining of the stomach or on the skin. Allergies can also trigger asthma symptoms. In very serious situations, anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition may occur.
If you or your child have allergy symptoms, we are equipped to help. Our specialized training, experience and state of the art equipment can provide you with an accurate diagnosis of your condition and set up an allergy treatment and management plan to designed to help you feel better.
