Allergy Care in St. George, Utah
Spring blooms, desert dust and indoor triggers can all stir up symptoms. Talk through your patterns and what helps.
Making sense of allergy symptoms
Allergies can cause sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, coughing, skin rashes or hives. Symptoms may come with certain seasons, after time outdoors, around pets, or after particular foods or medications.
In primary care, your provider reviews your symptoms and history, considers other possible causes such as infection, and discusses ways to manage symptoms. If specialized testing or treatment may help, your provider can talk about a referral.
Areas your visit may cover
Depending on your symptoms and history, the visit may also cover:
- Seasonal symptom patterns
- Environmental exposure history
- Nasal and eye symptoms
- Related breathing symptoms
Patterns worth noting
- Do symptoms flare at certain times of year or after time outdoors?
- Are pets, dust, smoke or cleaning products involved?
- Have you reacted to a food, medication or insect sting?
- Do allergies affect your sleep, breathing or asthma?
- Which over-the-counter products have you tried?
What a primary care assessment may involve
Your provider asks about the timing, triggers and severity of symptoms and examines your eyes, nose, throat, chest or skin as appropriate.
You can discuss trigger reduction, medication options and how to use them, and whether a referral to an allergy specialist for testing or other treatment would be helpful.
Preparing for your visit
Keep a short log of when symptoms happen and what you were doing or exposed to. Bring the names of medications and products you have tried, and whether they helped.
If you have had a serious reaction before, bring any related records and mention it when you call.
Scope and next steps
Swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, trouble breathing, or a reaction after a sting or food can be life-threatening. Use prescribed epinephrine if you have it and call 911.
Allergy testing and immunotherapy are not promised as part of a primary care visit; your provider can discuss referral when appropriate.
