Here are a few tips that may work great in helping you better manage your asthmatic allergy.

As basic as it may sound, it is a great way to control your allergic asthma attacks. When you know what are the things that trigger the attacks, you can very well avoid doing them. For this, different allergy tests can be conducted. Apart from getting the allergy skin testing and food testing done, you should also try to maintain notes on the last allergic asthma attack you had and what could be the possible trigger points, based on the activity that you were doing at that time. This will help a lot in figuring out the reasons that lead to such attacks.

Keep it clean

Another important tip to prevent allergic asthma attacks would be to keep the surrounding cleans and free from dust mites, which are said to be one of the most common indoor allergic asthma allergens, as per studies. You can keep dust mites at bay by regularly washing all of your bedding and getting rid of those carpets from your home that are a haven for dust mites. Also, go for dust proof mattresses and pillows to avoid attracting the nasty little dust mites.

What is Allergy Immunology

Immunology is a very broad branch of biological science. It is commonly defined as the study of the immune system. In medicine, an immunologist is a specialist who uses his knowledge to evaluate, diagnose and manage patients with immunological disorders like asthma, food allergies, sinusitis, and more. In Phoenix, immunologists is commonly referred to as  allergists.

Specially Licensure:

An allergy immunologist such as Dr. Habib-Khazen and Dr Alasaly had to go through years of education and training in order to learn how to treat and manage allergies and asthma.

Our doctors must complete a medical degree, and then, train as a physician in either pediatrics or internal medicine. Once training has been completed, the physician must pass either the American Board of Internal Medicine or the American Board of Pediatrics.

To become an immunologist, a physician must undergo an additional two years of study (fellowship) focusing on immunology, and  pass the American Board of Allergy and Immunology’s certifying exam.

An allergist/immunologist's education and training doesn't stop there. Because immunology is applied to several other scientific disciplines, new discoveries in the field are continually being made. To remain a certified immunologist in Phoenix, continued medical education is  necessary in order to keep up with the latest news and remain competent in the field.

The Role of the Allergy/Immunologist:

Unlike other types of diseases, allergic disease isn’t a condition that can “go away” easily. Some people dismiss allergies and regard them as a mere nuisance. Patients who suffer from allergies know that this condition can  be debilitating and  keep them from their daily routines.

An effective Phoenix immunologist diagnoses the condition and provides a management plan to help the patient manage his allergy or asthma better, reducing the number of times the patient misses school or work because he/she has to stay at home to rest. The immunologist uses different allergy tests to determine what a patient is allergic to and what triggers allergic reactions. These tests include allergy skin testing, pulmonary function testing, penicillin testing, food testing, chemical and food patch testing, and venom and stinging insect testing.

An Allergy Doctor Versus A General Practitioner

The benefit of seeing an allergy doctor is that a specialist's focus is on allergy symptoms, triggers, and treatments. A general practitioner has a broad overview of many health conditions, but an allergy doctor has unique exposure to and experience with allergies. By having a narrower focus, a specialist is able to give you better insight into the causes and remedies for your condition.

Your allergy doctor should be familiar with a variety of testing and treatment techniques to meet your unique needs.
