For the Future
“Helping the number of school children and youth who have unrecognized asthma to be identified and to receive treatment, by providing free asthma screening to the schools. These are very exciting times in the field of allergy and immunology with many potential new treatments being developed and we avow to make them available as soon as they are approved.”
Key Advice
“We now have a number of excellent allergy medicines with each one having a specific purpose. Understand from your doctor the role of each one and learn to use them effectively. Allergy immunotherapy (shots) actually makes you lose your allergy to specific allergic irritants over time, and allows you to use much less medication. Seek out the cause of your problems. Knowing the cause is the first step for a successful preventive plan.”
