🌟 Teamwork for Better Patient Care 🌟

Last night, we had a full care team—including our biological coordinator, nurse, medical assistants, PA, APRN, and physician—attended an educational dinner focused on Nucala, a monoclonal antibody used in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasasl polyps as well as severe asthma and other related conditions.

By staying up to date on the latest therapies, we ensure that every member of our team is prepared to deliver the best care possible. Education and teamwork go hand in hand in helping our patients breathe easier. 💙

🌍✨ It’s National Eczema Week! ✨🌍

Did you know allergies and eczema can be closely linked? Many patients with eczema also have allergic conditions like hay fever, asthma, or food sensitivities—a connection known as the “atopic march.” Allergies can trigger flare-ups, worsen itching, and make skin harder to heal.

The good news? With the right care, flare-ups can be reduced and quality of life improved. Our knowledgeable team takes time to understand the whole picture—from allergy triggers to skin health—so patients get care that truly fits their needs. 💙

Trust your care to experts who listen, guide, and stay up to date with the latest in allergy and dermatology care.

👉 Let’s spread awareness this National Eczema Week and support those living with eczema every day!

👃💊 Could a simple allergy nasal spray help protect against COVID-19?

A new study found that people using azelastine nasal spray (otc as Astepro) were less likely to get COVID-19 compared to those using a placebo. It even seemed to lower risk of the common cold! Side effects were similar to placebo.

👉 While this is exciting, larger studies are still needed before it can be recommended for everyone.

Science is always evolving, and sometimes big discoveries come from everyday medicines! 🌟

This randomized clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of azelastine as a preexposure prophylaxis against SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens.

Did you know you can have allergy symptoms without testing positive on traditional allergy tests? 🤧

This condition is called local nasal allergy (local allergic rhinitis). People experience sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, and congestion just like seasonal allergies—but their skin or blood allergy tests come back negative.

Why? Because the allergic reaction is happening only inside the nose, not throughout the whole body.

👉 If you’ve been told your allergy tests are negative but you still have persistent “allergy-like” symptoms, you may have local nasal allergy.
👉 Treatments like nasal sprays, antihistamines, and even allergy immunotherapy may help.

Don’t ignore ongoing nasal symptoms—there may be more going on than meets the eye! 🌸

Did you know that early detection of oral cancer can save lives? Oral cancer often starts silently—with small changes in the mouth that are easy to miss. A simple self-check can make a big difference.👄 How to Screen Yourself at Home:
✔️ Look in the mirror at your lips, gums, tongue (top & bottom), and the inside of your cheeks
✔️ Check the roof and floor of your mouth
✔️ Feel for any lumps or swelling in your neck
✔️ Watch for red or white patches, sores that don’t heal, or unexplained painful areas

If you notice anything unusual lasting longer than 2 weeks, it’s time to get it checked.

✅ Regular dental and ENT visits also include oral cancer screenings—another reason not to skip your check-ups!

👉 Protect yourself by avoiding to***co, limiting alcohol, and staying on top of regular exams.Your health is worth it.
