Granite Bay Allergy & Asthma Conditions Served

Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (seasonal allergies)

An allergic reaction affecting the nose and eyes, causing sneezing, congestion, runny nose, itchy eyes, and watery discharge—often triggered by pollen, dust, or pet dander.

Asthma (Allergic and Non-Allergic)

A chronic condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

Asthma-COPD Overlap (ACO)

A respiratory condition that shares features of both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), resulting in persistent airflow limitation and breathing difficulties.

Urticaria (Hives)

Raised, itchy welts on the skin that can appear suddenly and vary in size and shape, often due to allergic reactions or unknown triggers.

AERD / Samter’s Triad (Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease)

A combination of asthma, nasal polyps, and sinus disease worsened by aspirin or other NSAIDs, linked to chronic inflammation in the airways.

Angioedema (Random Swelling)

Sudden swelling beneath the skin, commonly affecting the face, lips, tongue, or throat, and sometimes occurring with hives or allergic reactions.

Chronic Cough

A cough lasting more than eight weeks, often caused by asthma, post-nasal drip, acid reflux, or underlying inflammation of the airways.

Post-Nasal Drip

The sensation of mucus draining down the back of the throat, often leading to throat clearing, cough, or sore throat, commonly due to allergies or sinus irritation.

Chronic Sinusitis

Long-term inflammation of the sinuses that causes nasal congestion, facial pressure, reduced sense of smell, and recurring infections.

Stinging & Biting Insect Allergies

Allergic reactions to insect venom from bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets, which can range from local swelling to severe anaphylaxis.

Food Allergies

An immune reaction to specific foods that can cause hives, swelling, digestive issues, or potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis.

Contact Dermatitis

A skin rash or irritation caused by direct contact with an allergen or irritant, such as poison ivy, metals, fragrances, or cosmetics.

Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)

A chronic skin condition that causes dry, itchy, and inflamed skin, often linked to allergic tendencies or environmental triggers.

Nasal Polyposis

Soft, noncancerous growths inside the nasal passages or sinuses that develop from chronic inflammation and can cause congestion or breathing problems.

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis

An immune-mediated lung disease caused by repeated exposure to airborne particles, leading to inflammation and scarring of lung tissue.

Allergic Bronchopulmonary Mycosis / Aspergillosis

An allergic reaction in the lungs to certain fungi, particularly Aspergillus, leading to inflammation, mucus buildup, and breathing difficulties.

Immune Deficiencies

Conditions in which the immune system does not function properly, resulting in frequent, severe, or unusual infections.

Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) & Gastrointestinal Disease (EGID)

Chronic allergic inflammation of the esophagus or digestive tract caused by immune responses to certain foods or environmental allergens.

Eosinophilic Pneumonia

A lung disorder characterized by high levels of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) that cause inflammation and respiratory symptoms.

Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (Churg-Strauss Syndrome)

A rare autoimmune disease causing inflammation of blood vessels, often affecting the lungs, sinuses, skin, and nerves.

Mast Cell Disorders

Conditions involving abnormal mast cell activity, such as mastocytosis or mast cell activation syndrome, which lead to recurrent allergic-type reactions.

Hypereosinophilic Syndrome

A rare condition marked by persistently elevated eosinophil levels that can cause inflammation and damage to organs throughout the body.

Mold and Environmental Allergies

Allergic reactions triggered by airborne particles like mold spores, dust mites, or pollen, leading to congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes.

Environmental Allergies (Allergic Rhinitis / Hay Fever)

Triggered by pollen, dust mites, mold, and pet dander, environmental allergies can cause sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and fatigue. Our allergists offer precise testing and targeted treatment options, including immunotherapy.

Food Allergies

Reactions to foods such as peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, eggs, or milk can range from mild to life-threatening. We provide diagnostic testing, avoidance guidance, and emergency action plans to help patients stay safe and confident.

Skin Allergies (Eczema / Atopic Dermatitis, Contact Dermatitis, Hives)

Chronic itching, redness, and rashes can be linked to allergic triggers. Our team identifies underlying causes and develops personalized treatment plans to restore skin health and comfort.

Drug Allergies

If you’ve experienced adverse reactions to antibiotics, pain relievers, or other medications, our allergists can help determine whether it’s a true allergy and guide safe future treatment options.

Insect Sting Allergies

Stings from bees, wasps, hornets, or fire ants can cause severe allergic reactions. We provide testing, education, and venom immunotherapy to reduce risk and ensure safety.

Sinus and Nasal Allergies (Allergic Rhinosinusitis)

Chronic nasal congestion, sneezing, and sinus pressure are often caused by allergic inflammation of the nasal passages. Our specialists identify environmental or seasonal triggers and provide customized treatment—such as allergen avoidance strategies, medications, or immunotherapy—to relieve congestion and prevent recurring sinus infections.

Asthma

Asthma causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Our specialists offer lung function testing, medication management, and trigger identification to help you breathe easier and stay active.

Chronic Cough & Exercise-Induced Asthma

Persistent coughing or shortness of breath during exercise may indicate uncontrolled asthma or airway sensitivity. We identify the underlying cause and tailor treatment for symptom control and performance improvement.

Sinusitis (Chronic or Recurrent Sinus Infections)

Allergies often contribute to sinus congestion, pressure, and infection. Comprehensive allergy evaluation and treatment can help reduce sinus inflammation and improve long-term sinus health.
