ALLERGY CENTER
Getting You Allergy Relief In Roanoke, Virginia
Do you or one of your family members suffer from seasonal allergies? Allergies can cause chronic rhinitis and sinusitis. If left untreated, chronic inflammation in the nasal passages can make you feel stuffy and tired all the time. Allergy sufferers can experience a wide range of symptoms with seasonal allergies, including itchy watery eyes, sneezing, congestion, runny nose and postnasal drip. Sometimes patients will seek over-the-counter medications to help combat some of the symptoms. Antihistamines, decongestants and nasal spray can be effective for some patients. For patients with more moderate to severe allergy symptoms, ROVA ENT & ALLERGY offers immunotherapy.
Dr. Lenkowski and his allergy center team are relentless in finding a solution and improving your quality of life. Ready for relief? Contact us today!

MEDICATION
Medications can greatly improve or even eliminate allergy symptoms. Too many think, “It’s just allergies.” While soldiering through, they end up with more serious problems, such as ear or sinus infections.
Typically these medicines will involve antihistamines, decongestants, corticosteroids, ointments, and in some cases, Epinephrine, for life-threatening anaphylaxis reactions.
IMMUNOTHERAPY
In some cases, we might recommend Immunotherapy. This will include the traditional rounds of “allergy shots” and sublingual (under-the-tongue) low-dose allergens to build tolerance over time. These allergy shots are designed to stimulate your immune system and decrease your reaction to specific allergens. We will decrease your dosage once we obtain the desired results.
We also offer Sublingual Immunotherapy (drops) as an option for patients with needle phobias as well as those who are on beta blockers.
ALLERGY FACTS
About 30% of Americans suffer each year from allergies.
Immunotherapy (allergy shots) helps reduce hay fever symptoms in about 85% of people with allergic rhinitis.
