SEASONAL ALLERGIES
By: Kristine Krol, M.D.
Board Certified Allergist, Allercare
Are you tired of suffering
from sneezing, sniffling,
nasal congestion, itchy,
watery eyes and wheezing
every spring? These symp-
toms are signs of seasonal
allergies to tree and grass
pollens. Well, there are
some painless, innovative
treatments available for
you!
An allergic reaction is what
happens when your body’s
immune system overreacts
to a substance in the envi-
ronment like grass pollen.
Airborne allergies like pollen
can affect your eyes, nose,
sinuses and lungs.
Most of you have heard of
Allergy shots for treatment
of seasonal allergies. But
now there is another form
of treatment that is painless
(
without shots). It’s called
Sublingual Immunotherapy,
abbreviated S.L.I.T. or also
called allergy drops.
It’s not too late to start
Preseasonal Sublingual
Immunotherapy (drops) for
treatment of grass pollen
allergies this spring.
Preseasonal S.L.I.T. is a
treatment option that you
might consider to help
reduce symptoms when the
season begins. The treat-
ment begins a few weeks
before the grass pollen sea-
son starts and continues
through the rest of the sea-
son. Preseasonal allergy
drops are first taken in the
doctors office, then the
remaining treatment is
done once a day at home.
Please call Allercare at 908-
725-8666
if you are inter-
ested in more information
about this Preseasonal
treatment or if you would
like to make an appoint-
ment for an evaluation to
see if this treatment is right
for you.
