What are the common allergies in the Norman and Tecumseh areas?

Many residents in these areas are affected by seasonal allergies, and these allergies can affect everyone differently. But one of the most common types of allergies in the areas is allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever. Typically, this allergy is caused by pollen and occurs during the springtime until the end of May. Other allergens can also trigger hay fever in people, like grass which can affect people into the summer until July. Also, ragweed and mold spores can affect people from July until November.

Hay fever can also trigger an asthma attack in asthmatic patients, so it’s important for them to control their exposure to allergens and seek medical care when necessary.

How are allergies usually treated?

This really depends on the particular type of allergy you have. The symptoms of seasonal allergies can be controlled with prescription medication which we provide here at Immediate Care of Oklahoma. The idea with this medication is to reduce the severity of your symptoms to help you get through the allergy season more easily!

With other minor allergies and mild symptoms, antihistamines, decongestants, or corticosteroids can help. For example, a corticosteroid cream can effectively treat skin rashes associated with allergies. Some patients get immunotherapy to control their immune system and help fight allergies. This can be especially effective for many patients and be a long-term solution to allergies.

When you come to Immediate Care of Oklahoma for allergy treatment, we can provide any of the medications we mentioned above, and if you would like to do immunotherapy, we can provide a referral for it.

How is asthma usually treated?

Although there isn’t a cure for asthma or any medications you can take to rid yourself of it, there are ways of easing and managing the symptoms. There are also measures patients can take to help prevent asthma attacks. Asthma is a chronic condition, so the only ways to handle it are with symptom management and asthma attack prevention.

There are two kinds of asthma medication: long-term control meds and instant relief. Here at Immediate Care of Oklahoma, we’re an immediate care center, so we can help patients with mild to moderate symptoms and who need instant asthma relief. We provide beta 2 agonists which can help in the short-term to ease symptoms and make breathing much easier. We can also provide referrals for patients who need to see a specialist for long-term asthma control.
