One of the most common statements we get is: “I think my child is allergic to my pet. Should I rehome him/her?” Before uprooting an animal that to whom you are their world, get tested to see if this is actually the source of your problems!

This can prevent unnecessary lifestyle changes, and even if your pet is a trigger, our custom immunotherapy regiments have allowed many patients to coexist successfully with their fur babies. Focus on changing you and not the world around you at East Texas Allergy & Asthma. 903-757-3808 for appointments.

A major shift in how parents feed their babies points to a major win for food allergic children. Advice promoted by board-certified allergists and increasingly by pediatricians indicates giving babies peanut and other allergenic foods early in life can help prevent food allergies. This can prevent a lifetime of risk and anxiety. The experts at East Texas Allergy & Asthma can guide families through this process. Contact us at 903-757-3808 for appointments.

✅ The good news: testing is safe and easy with a board-certified allergist.
