Many common medications can have the unintended side effect of triggering asthma symptoms. Some of those include beta-blockers, pain relievers (aspirin and other NSAIDs) and ACE inhibitors.

Over the years, research has shown that asthma is not a "one-size-fits-all" diagnosis. Although initial treatment often uses common medications, severe cases that do not respond require a more precise approach achieved by consultation with a dedicated asthma specialist. This may include allergen testing and avoidance, allergy immunotherapy (shots), or advanced biologic therapies that target specific inflammatory cells in that partiucular patient.

Thankfully, East Texas Allergy & Asthma is well equipped to diagnose and treat asthma of all types and in all ages. Call 903-757-3808 for assistance!

Rather than using the same treatment regimen for all patients, current strategies for asthma management focus on individualizing treatment based on a patient’s phenotype. This is known as personalized or precision medicine. There are several well-defined asthma phenotypes including: allergic, non-allergic, eosinophilic, neutrophilic, exercise-induced and aspirin-induced.

Fact: While a family history of a food allergy makes a child a little more likely to have food allergies, individual food allergies are not passed down from parent to child. In fact, early introduction of allergenic foods helps prevent food allergies, which may be especially important in children who have older siblings with food allergies.

Don’t withhold foods unnecessarily. If your family needs help, deciding whether a food is safe to eat, your board certified allergist is here to help call 903-757-3808 for a consultation!
