What are allergies?

Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to a typically harmless substance (an allergen). The body releases chemicals like histamine, which cause uncomfortable symptoms in the eyes, nose, throat, and skin.

Common allergy symptoms that we treat online include:

Runny or stuffy nose (congestion)
Sneezing and itching of the nose, eyes, or throat
Watery, red, or itchy eyes
Post-nasal drip and coughing
Sinus pressure and headache

Allergies are caused by exposure to specific allergens. The most common types include:

Seasonal allergens: Pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds (often called "hay fever").
Perennial allergens: Dust mites, mold, pet dander, and cockroach droppings, which cause year-round symptoms.

Diagnosing allergies is often done clinically via telehealth and involves:

A comprehensive review of your symptoms and medical history.
Discussion of when and where your symptoms occur (seasonal vs. perennial).
If needed, the provider can prescribe effective medication based on this evaluation. Please note: We do not perform allergy testing (like skin prick tests) online.

Oral Antihistamines: Prescription-strength oral medications (e.g., Zyrtec, Allegra, Claritin) to block histamine release.
Allergy Eye Drops: Prescription drops (antihistamines or mast cell stabilizers) to soothe itchy, red eyes.
Leukotriene Modifiers: Medications like Singulair to target inflammatory chemicals.
Preventative Strategies: Guidance on allergen avoidance, use of air filters, and effective cleaning routines.

Doctor On Demand Patient Reviews

"I am so thankful for these Virtual Doctor visits. It’s awesome. This is my 2nd time calling about severe allergies in the Fall. Over the counter drugs just aren’t enough. I take a picture of my throat, I wait 5 mins or so, we video talk, and a prescription is sent to my pharmacy. In 10 mins total, I’m on my way to recovery. Highly recommend this service."

"Thank you Doctor On Demand for allowing me to stay home and still get the medication I needed in order to get better. This Dr. visit was so quick and easy. Another plus was my physician. She was so courteous, didn't seem to be in a giant hurry like most doctors, & made sure I knew what medications she was sending to my pharmacy. That's really important to me since I'm allergic to a few. Thank you so much Dr Marvin for being so kind & considerate!!"
