Find Quick Relief: What Are Allergies?
Allergies are an overreaction of your immune system to a normally harmless substance. Your body mistakes something like pollen, dust, pet dander, or a specific food for a dangerous intruder and launches a defense against it. That defense, not the substance itself, is what produces the sneezing, congestion, itching, and coughing that you feel.
Most allergic reactions are uncomfortable rather than dangerous. Reactions to insect venom or certain foods can be more serious and, in rare cases, life-threatening, which is why an accurate diagnosis matters.

(817) 678 – 5575What Causes Allergies?
Allergies are caused by an immune system that misidentifies a harmless substance as a threat. When you are exposed to that trigger, your body releases chemicals to flush it out, which inflames your airways, eyes, skin, or digestive tract.
Common allergy triggers include:
- Airborne allergens: pollen, dust mites, mold, pet dander
- Foods: nuts, shellfish, dairy, eggs, and others
- Insect venom: bee and wasp stings
- Medications
- Materials: latex and similar substances
The specific trigger varies from person to person, which is why two people can sit in the same room and only one starts sneezing.
Allergy Signs & Symptoms
Allergy symptoms depend on what triggered the reaction and where in the body it happens. They range from mild and annoying to severe enough to interfere with breathing.
Common allergy symptoms include:
- Runny or congested nose
- Sneezing
- Itchy, watery eyes
- Chest congestion or wheezing
- Difficulty breathing
- Hives or skin rash
- A persistent or chronic cough
How We Diagnose Allergies
Allergy diagnosis starts with identifying your exact triggers through allergy testing. You cannot treat an allergy effectively until you know precisely what is causing it, so testing is always the first step at Cure Allergy Clinic.
During your visit, our specialist reviews your symptom history and performs testing to pinpoint which allergens your immune system is reacting to. From those results, we build a treatment plan matched to your specific triggers rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
How to prepare for allergy testing
Stop taking antihistamines and allergy medications for 4 to 7 days before your appointment. These medications suppress the reactions the test is designed to measure, so being off them produces the most accurate results.
Allergy Treatment Options & Treatment Process
Once your triggers are identified, treatment focuses on either avoiding them or retraining your immune system through immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is the only approach that addresses the underlying allergy itself, not just the symptoms.
Your provider may recommend:
CureSLIT (Allergy Drops)
Sublingual immunotherapy. Allergen drops are placed under the tongue at home.
Best for Children, busy schedules, or patients who prefer to avoid needles. Effectively treats asthma, sinus issues, seasonal allergies, rhinitis, animal dander, dust, mold, and eczema.
SCIT (Allergy Shots)
Subcutaneous immunotherapy. Allergen injections given in-clinic.
Best for Environmental allergens such as pollen, animals, mold, and dust mites.
Both options work by gradually building your natural tolerance to the allergen so your body stops overreacting. At Cure Allergy Clinic, our allergy drops are among the most affordable and pleasant-tasting available for patients who prefer drops over shots.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see an allergist?
See an allergist when your symptoms interfere with daily life, over-the-counter medications stop working, or you suspect your symptoms may be caused by something other than a simple allergy.
How do I prepare for allergy testing?
Stop antihistamines and allergy medications 4 to 7 days before your appointment so the test can measure your reactions accurately.
Are allergy drops or allergy shots better?
Both are effective. Drops (CureSLIT) suit patients who want to avoid needles or treat at home, while shots (SCIT) are strong for environmental allergens. Your provider will recommend the best fit for you.
Can allergies be cured?
Immunotherapy is the closest thing to a cure, because it changes how your immune system responds rather than just masking symptoms. Many patients see lasting relief or full resolution of their symptoms.
Why do allergies cause a chronic cough?
A cough often appears when inhaled allergens irritate your respiratory passages. Pollen, dust mites, and pet dander can inflame the airways and increase mucus production, and your body coughs to expel the irritant. A lingering, unexplained cough is frequently an undiagnosed allergy rather than a cold.
Can you develop seasonal allergies as an adult?
Yes. Allergies can appear at any age, including well into adulthood. A new environment, a new pet, or simply changes in your immune response over time can trigger seasonal allergies you never had as a child.
