Dr. Lewis specializes in diagnosing and treating allergies. An allergy is an acquired abnormal response to a substance (allergen) that causes a reaction within the body. Allergic reactions may include eczema, allergic rhinitis, hay fever, asthma, hives and food allergies. Allergists help patients by determining the causes of allergic reactions and helping to treat symptoms and build patients' tolerance to allergens. At the Olean Medical Group, Dr. Lewis will see patients of all ages. Contact us today to make an appointment with our allergy specialist!
When to See an Allergy Specialist
Allergy symptoms can range from mild to severe and significantly affect your quality of life. You may think you just have seasonal allergies, and they will go away on their own, but it is best to find the root of the problem before it worsens. Below are a few signs it may be time to call an allergy specialist.
- Cold symptoms that have lasted for several weeks
- Having trouble breathing
- Allergic reactions caused by food, insect bites, or medication
- Difficulty sleeping due to symptoms
- Hives, rashes, and itchy skin
- Increased symptoms when you are around pets
- Family history of allergies
