How do I tell an allergy from a cold?
An allergy causes sneezing fits, itchy nose, eyes and throat, clear mucus and watery eyes, without fever, and lasts as long as the exposure. A cold usually brings general malaise, sometimes fever, mucus that thickens, and clears in 7 to 10 days.
What is the treatment, step by step?
- 1The symptom pattern and possible triggers are identified.
- 2A second-generation antihistamine that does not cause drowsiness is prescribed, plus a steroid nasal spray if there is congestion.
- 3For the skin, creams are prescribed and, for hives, antihistamines for several days.
- 4Response is reviewed in 2 to 4 weeks and treatment is adjusted.
How do I reduce exposure at home?
- Keep windows closed during pollen season and use air conditioning with a filter
- Shower and change clothes when you get home on high-pollen days
- Wash bedding in hot water every week
- Control humidity to prevent mold
When is it an emergency?
Swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, trouble breathing, dizziness or hives that spread quickly after food, a sting or a medication may be anaphylaxis. Call 911 immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
01What is checked at the allergy visit?
You are asked when your symptoms show up and what sets them off, and your nose, throat, ears, lungs and skin are examined. That shapes the treatment for rhinitis, hives, eczema or dermatitis and a plan to cut down exposure.
02Why do I sneeze every spring in Cypress without running a fever?
That pattern points to allergy: sneezing fits, itchy nose, eyes and throat, clear mucus and watery eyes with no fever, lasting as long as the exposure. In Houston, oak and other tree pollen is heavy from February to May.
03What treatment can I get for my nose, eyes or skin?
For the nose, a non-drowsy antihistamine plus a steroid nasal spray if you are congested; for the eyes, drops; for the skin, creams and, for hives, antihistamines for several days. Your response is reviewed afterward and adjusted.
04Do you do allergy skin testing?
When skin testing or immunotherapy is needed, the medical team refers you to an allergy specialist. In the meantime you can start treatment for your symptoms at the clinic.
05When is an allergic reaction a reason to call 911?
If your lips, tongue or throat swell, you struggle to breathe, feel dizzy or hives race across your skin after eating something, a sting or a medication, it may be anaphylaxis. In that case call 911 instead of coming to the clinic.
