Allergy & Asthma Care

Allergies can range from a minor nuisance to a serious, life-threatening condition. Whether you experience seasonal symptoms, asthma flare-ups, or unexplained allergic reactions, the right diagnosis and treatment can help you breathe easier and improve your quality of life.

At Aspirus, our providers care for patients of all ages experiencing allergies, asthma, and immune-related conditions. Your primary care provider can help determine the best course of treatment and refer you to a specialist when needed.

When Should You See an Allergist?

You may benefit from seeing an allergist if you experience recurring or severe symptoms such as:

  • Seasonal allergies or hay fever
  • Asthma symptoms, including wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, or shortness of breath
  • Frequent sinus or respiratory issues
  • Skin reactions such as hives or eczema
  • Allergic reactions to foods, medications, insect bites, or stings
  • Unexplained allergic reactions or persistent symptoms affecting daily life

What Does an Allergist Do?

An allergist, also known as an allergist-immunologist, is a physician specially trained in diagnosing, treating, and managing allergies, asthma, and immune system disorders. These specialists understand how the immune system reacts to environmental triggers and can create personalized treatment plans to help reduce symptoms and prevent complications. Services may include:

  • Allergy testing
  • Asthma diagnosis and management
  • Evaluation of food, medication, and insect allergies
  • Immunotherapy, including allergy shots or sublingual drops
  • Prescription medications and symptom management
  • Ongoing care for chronic allergic conditions

Allergy Testing & Diagnosis

To identify the source of allergic reactions, your provider may recommend one or more types of allergy testing, including:

  • Skin prick testing
  • Blood testing, including IgE testing
  • Patch testing

Testing can help determine which allergens may be triggering your symptoms so your care team can develop the most effective treatment plan.
