Asthma Flares and Allergies

Image by Allergychoices

Currently 1 in 10 children suffer from asthma, and 1 in 4 children suffer from allergies or eczema. The month of September has the highest rate of asthma exacerbations of any month in the year. Why? This is likely due to the high pollen counts, high outdoor molds, and grain dust in the air. In addition, children and teens are active in fall sports, many of which are outdoors, which can also trigger exercise induced asthma in some children.

Asthma is triggered by allergies in 60-70% of individuals. While there are a number of medications to help control allergy and asthma symptoms, they don’t address the underlying root cause of allergies that so often trigger asthma exacerbations. Allergy immunotherapy addresses the underlying triggers of allergies that can cause asthma. Treating allergies helps improve control, reduce ER visits, and may prevent asthma from developing in young children.

Affordable and convenient sublingual immunotherapy has been clinically researched to safely and efficaciously treat allergies in individuals with asthma. It may also be used in young children with allergies, the goal being early intervention to address the possibility of further progression into asthma.
