Hay Fever (Pollen Allergy)

A stuffy or runny nose, constant sneezing, burning or watering eyes as well as shortness of breath occur during the corresponding pollen season. Patients can also feel tired or even ill during this season. Patient’s general health and ability to function can be reduced and especially boys can become more aggressive. More and more people in Switzerland suffer from a pollen allergy.

Allergy evaluation not only reveals the triggering pollen but can possibly reveal any existing allergies to other allergens in the air such as fungus, house dust mites, or animal dander. These could further intensify the patient’s complaints as they constitute a larger amount of allergens.

In a personal consultation I will show you the various forms of treatment including immunotherapy, and I then will adjust your individual therapy to your needs. If needed an interdisciplinary consultation with an otolaryngologist to exclude other nasal disorders is a main focus of our practice.
