The Allergy Detective: Allergic Rhinitis Treatment Secrets Your Doctor May Not Tell You - Paperback

by Benoit D. Tano (Author), Benoait D. Tano (Author)

Allergy cases are on the rise, and are often frustrating for lack of understanding and for lack of knowledge about how to properly treat them. Rhinitis, or inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes, can lead to postnasal drip, chronic and recurrent sinus infections, sinus pressure, headaches, and even asthma symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing. The bulk of rhinitis cases are treated by primary care health care providers, or are handled by patients who self-treat. However, many health care providers do not have a deep understanding of the biological mechanisms of rhinitis symptoms. Also, many patients who self-treat use over-the-counter medications that can actually prolong nasal symptoms - and can even pose further, more serious health risks. Allergic Rhinitis Treatment Secrets Your Doctor May Not Tell You, the first book in the Allergy Detective series by Benoit Tano, M.D., explores the origins of childhood and adult-onset allergy epidemic and the most effective ways to correct these symptoms. This guide, drawn from Dr. Tano's practice experience as an allergist, reveals the mechanisms behind nasal symptoms and shows how using an optimal combination of medications is necessary for effective treatment of nasal symptoms to help allergy sufferers take better control of their allergies.
