Your allergist in Berlin

Diagnosis and therapy for a better sense of life.

Allergian can cause high problems, eye itching, hay fever and asthma. More and more people suffer from allergies. This over-reaction of the immune system to actually unproblematic substances such as pollen can significantly reduce the quality of life. We help you with unpleasant complaints and, if possible, offer you a long-term protection against a new outbreak of allergy.

THERE WE ARE TAKEN WITH OTHER ALLERGIES

Allergies of the respiratory tract
(Complaints such as itching of the eyes, runny fever and blocked nasal nasal nasal respiration up to shortness of air and asthma)
Food allergies
(Symptoms such as mucosa in the mouth and throat and symptoms of the gastrointestinal system)
Skin allergies
(Symptoms such as eczema and itching in areas of the skin that had contact with the intolerant substance)

Diagnostics as a first step

The treatment starts with an allergy diagnosis, because only if we determine the triggering allergen, you can avoid it in the future.

We carry out various allergy tests. This includes the PRICK test, in which we test respiratory and food allergens. For this it is necessary to apply a small dose of the allergen on the forearm or slightly scratch it.

After only 20 minutes we can read whether redness, Quaddel formations or other typical reactions are present. Then it is clear that it is a so-called type 1 allergy. Alternatively, it is possible with the Epikutan test after contact.

Treatment Tailored

After the successful diagnosis of your allergy, it is possible to treat the symptoms symptomatically. For this, eye drops, nasal sprays, antihistamine tablets and ointments are used.

In addition, you will learn how to dispense with or avoid the allergen in everyday life in the future. In pollen, house dust or insect allergy, however, this is much more complicated than in a nickel allergy. Therefore, a specific immunotherapy, which is also known as hypo- or desensitization, is necessary. For hyposensitization, we administer the allergen in slowly increasing amounts to get your immune system used to it.

Here, injections into the skin or oral administration in the form of drops or tablets are possible at home. In many cases, hyposensitis can be used to relieve allergic discomfort after just a few weeks.

Depending on the type and severity of the allergy, a therapy over 3-5 years is necessary for a lifelong success.
