Working With An ENT Doctor

If you are not sure as to whether you should start talking with your doctor about being referred to an allergy specialist to be tested for allergies, you will want to keep reading. While exact symptoms will vary from one person to the next, especially depending on the allergen, the following should be considered signs that it is time for you to be tested. This way, you will be able to quickly confirm if you do indeed have allergies so you can begin the proper treatment.

You Become Easily Congested When You Are Outside Around Fresh Cut Grass

Even if you like the smell of fresh cut grass, if you have found that every time you step outside while a neighbor is cutting his or her grass you become sick or you feel as though your head or chest is extremely congested, there is a good chance that it is because of allergies. Make sure that you are making an appointment with an ENT specialist for allergy testing as soon as possible. In the mean time, you may want to have someone else cut your grass for you and refrain from being outside too much when the neighbors are cutting their lawns.

Your Eyes Are Watering A Lot

While there are many things that can cause your eyes to excessively water, you will want to consider the fact that it could also be due to an allergy, especially if this is happening more so during one time of the year compared to others. For example, if you find that your eyes are watering the most during the time of year when there is a lot of pollen in the air. If is it confirmed that you have an allergy to pollen or something else that is causing your eyes to water, you can start taking medication and possibly even use eye drops to help with the discomfort.

Your Skin Is Breaking Out In Hives

Generally, a break out of hives on your body is a big sign that you are allergic to something you have consumed, taken as medication, or touched. If you are taking a new medication, it is advisable for you to go straight to the emergency room just in case you are having a reaction to that. If that is not the case, you might want to think about the various things that might be new to your routine, such as a new laundry soap. If you are not able to find the cause of the hives, you will want to talk with an ENT specialist as soon as possible.
