Allergologist consultation

During the onset of symptoms, it is important to consult a doctor as soon as possible to prevent the development of complications. After achieving remission, the patient undergoes ASIT (allergen-specific immunotherapy) with the causal allergen.

Allergists-immunologists of the medical network "Dobrobut" will provide comprehensive qualified assistance in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of allergic diseases and immunological system disorders. The high level of specialists and the availability of the most modern diagnostic studies allow for timely and qualified medical assistance to patients, both outpatient and inpatient.

The doctors in the fields of allergology and immunology closely collaborate with specialists from related specialties: therapists, dermatologists, otolaryngologists, pulmonologists, and other professionals.

Our specialists have successful experience in treating the following allergies and immunological disorders:

• rhinitis (hay fever and perennial);
• bronchial asthma;
• urticaria;
• broncho-obstructive conditions;
• various toxic-allergic reactions; 
• allergic conjunctivitis (hay fever and perennial);
• food and drug allergies;
• dermatitis (atopic, seborrheic);
• diseases related to immunodeficiency (primary, secondary);
• hereditary and acquired diseases accompanied by immune system reduction.

Treatment conducted according to adapted international protocols is prescribed and adjusted individually for each patient. If necessary, consultations with related specialists are carried out, allowing the patient to receive multidisciplinary assistance in one visit. Necessary examinations such as computed tomography, spirometry, and others can also be conducted. In severe or urgent conditions, medical assistance can be provided in a day hospital setting.

Allergic reactions can have various manifestations. Some of them may appear suddenly and disappear quickly, while others can last quite a long time, exhausting the person and significantly deteriorating their quality of life.

You should consult an allergologist-immunologist when you suddenly experience or have prolonged the following symptoms:

• Redness and itching of the skin, hives,
• Runny nose and tearing, accompanied by a slight increase in temperature and headache;
• Shortness of breath, cough, difficulty breathing.

Some sudden reactions of the body to irritants require urgent medical assistance, such as anaphylactic shock, which most often occurs as a reaction to medications, food or insect allergies, as well as bronchial asthma, which causes severe coughing and shortness of breath. In case of such reactions, it is necessary to call an ambulance.

If the symptoms persist for a long time, then you should consult a family doctor, who will conduct initial examinations and, if the diagnosis of allergy is confirmed, refer you to an allergologist or immunologist.

Individualized Treatment Selection for Each Patient:

• Conducting specific immunotherapy for allergic diseases (AIT) – subcutaneous and sublingual using modern high-quality allergen preparations
• Treatment and diagnosis of drug allergies
• Appointment and monitoring of a programmed therapy to prevent recurrence in bronchial asthma, respiratory allergies, etc.

The pediatric allergist will develop an individual approach to the treatment of allergic diseases, assist in identifying the causal allergen if possible, create a program to prevent exacerbations, including an individual hypoallergenic diet, and if necessary, prescribe a specific immunotherapy program. Together with the pediatric dermatologist, they will recommend adequate skin care for the child with allergies and atopic dermatitis, and together with the pediatrician, will conduct dynamic monitoring to prevent exacerbations and complications of allergic diseases.
