Seasonal Allergies Treatment & Management in Orlando, Dr. Phillips, Altamonte Springs, & Alafaya, FL
Relief for Year-Round & Seasonal Allergy Sufferers
Seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, affect millions of people each year. These allergies are triggered by airborne allergens such as pollen, mold spores, and environmental changes that occur during specific times of the year. At Total Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, we specialize in diagnosing and treating seasonal allergies to help you breathe easier and enjoy every season without discomfort.
Common Triggers of Seasonal Allergies
Each season presents unique allergens that can trigger symptoms:
- Spring Allergies: Tree pollen from oak, maple, and birch trees.
- Summer Allergies: Grass pollen from Bermuda, Timothy, and Kentucky bluegrass.
- Fall Allergies: Ragweed pollen, mold spores from fallen leaves.
- Winter Allergies: Indoor allergens like dust mites, pet dander, and mold due to increased time indoors.
Symptoms of Seasonal Allergies
If you experience any of the following symptoms during specific times of the year, you may have seasonal allergies:
- Sneezing and nasal congestion
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Itchy, watery, or red eyes
- Scratchy throat or postnasal drip
- Coughing or wheezing
- Fatigue or difficulty concentrating
Comprehensive Allergy Testing
At Total Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, we perform allergy testing to identify specific allergens triggering your symptoms. Testing options include:
- Skin Prick Testing: A quick and effective test to identify reactions to common allergens.
- Blood Testing: Measures allergen-specific antibodies in your blood.
- Patch Testing: Detects delayed allergic reactions from prolonged allergen exposure.
Once we determine your triggers, we create a personalized treatment plan to help you manage your allergies effectively.

We offer a range of treatment options tailored to your specific allergies and severity of symptoms:
1. Allergen Avoidance Strategies
