If you find yourself this summer with some annoying extra sneezing, a runny nose or itchy eyes, you may have allergies.

Allergies are your body’s reaction to a foreign protein. Usually this is harmless, but sometimes our immune system overreacts to a particular allergen. This can cause mild symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, itchy eyes, etc and more severe symptoms sometimes too.

Most allergies can be treated with over the counter medications and, if needed, with Oral Immunotherapy or Allergy Shots.

If you think your summertime sneezing is more than just that, contact Dr. Hallett!
