Spring Allergies Ruining Your Season? A Concierge Doctor Can Help
If your spring glow feels more like a constant battle with tissues and antihistamines, you’re not alone. More than 80 million people in the United States have seasonal allergies.
Spring allergies can be more than just a minor annoyance. They can disrupt sleep, drain your energy, and make even the nicest days feel unbearable. And while over-the-counter remedies might take the edge off, they don’t always address the root of the problem or provide lasting relief.
That’s where a concierge doctor can make a difference. Instead of rushed visits and one-size-fits-all solutions, concierge care takes a more personalized, proactive approach.
Visit Stuart Felzer, MD, FACP, at Premium Healthcare in Wilmington, Delaware, to help you understand your triggers, fine-tune your treatment, and enjoy the spring season. Here’s how Dr. Felzer and our team can help upgrade your spring routine.
Symptoms of seasonal allergies
If you have seasonal allergies, you may be familiar with these common symptoms:
- Sneezing
- Congestion
- Itchy nose, throat, and eyes
- Postnasal drip
- Runny nose
- Watery and red eyes
- Coughing
- Fatigue
Your allergies may worsen during the spring due to increased pollen, mold spores, and other allergens in the air.
Ways a concierge medicine doctor can ease spring allergies
Here are some of the many ways Dr. Felzer at Premium Healthcare can ease spring allergy symptoms:
Allergy testing
To effectively treat spring allergies, we need to determine what you’re allergic to. Dr. Felzer completes a physical and offers skin prick testing, blood tests, other allergies tests, and asthma testing to determine how to best treat your symptoms for lasting relief.
Prescription-strength medications
Dr. Felzer offers prescription-strength allergy medications, which can more effectively ease your symptoms. You might be a candidate for pills, nasal sprays, an inhaler, or other prescription-strength solutions.
Allergy shots
If you're interested in long-lasting symptom relief with immunotherapy, ask Dr. Felzer about allergy shots. He offers subcutaneous injections containing small amounts of specific allergens, allowing your body to build up a tolerance over time.
Sublingual immunotherapy
As an alternative to allergy shots, we also offer access to sublingual drops or tablets that dissolve under your tongue. This sublingual immunotherapy is available for ragweed and grass allergies.
Remote patient monitoring
Dr. Felzer can evaluate your treatment progress during remote patient monitoring, allowing him to effectively help you manage allergy symptoms from the comfort of your home. He takes as much time as you need, so you never feel like just a number.
At Premium Healthcare, we can also help you manage high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or other chronic diseases, and we focus on preventive care.
Other ways to limit spring allergen exposure
To ease spring allergy symptoms, we suggest these at-home solutions:
- Wash your hair before bed to remove any airborne allergens
- Avoid outdoor activities when pollen and mold spore levels are high
- Use an air filter in your home
- Take allergy medications before allergy season
- Keep doors and windows in your home closed
- Wear a mask when doing yard work
- Change your clothes after spending time outside
