Do you have an itchy runny nose; itching palate and throat; burning, tearing, and itching eyes?
You probably are suffering from hay fever.
Have you used nasal sprays, antihistamines, and decongestants without relief during the pollen season?
Your medication may need changing. If you are using a over-the-counter nasal spray, such as Afrin®, it may be making you worse. You can benefit from skin testing and allergy shots.
Is your nose still congested or your head hurting in spite of treating your hay fever?
It could be sinusitis caused by a bacterial infection which needs antibiotics.
Allergic rhinitis or hay fever causes the nasal passages to swell which prevents the sinuses around your eyes and nose from draining properly. Nasal allergies can lead to the complication of sinusitis.We offer a sinus mini CT Scan in our office which helps us make a quick determination concerning sinus disease.

"My 7yr old daughter and I are patients. I have been a patient for over a year now, and I love this place. All of the staff here is kind, caring and very good at their jobs. I have never been to a doctors office this nice. My daughter even loves this place because of how nice and gentle the nurses were when she was scared of the allergy test. I want to thank all the staff for everything. :)"

"I have been joing to Dr. Inglefield since the early 90's and I find him to be one of the nicest, friendly and professional doctors I've ever had! He cares for his patients and treats us with compassion! His smile makes our visit enjoyable! His entire staff is a joy to see each week when we come to get my allergy shots! Thanks Dr. Inglefield."

"I have been a patient of Dr. Inglefields for many years, the care and concern I receive is like no other allergist I've been to in 30 years of receiving care for my asthma. I have sent many people to this practice including bringing my won parents. I know that when I'm sick, they are here, always available, never too busy to help. This is a practice you can count on to find answers for each individual, you are a person not a number. And a practice that is there when you need them! We are blessed to have them in our area."
