SPRINGTIME ALLERGIES
|
|
In some years beginning as early as late January we start to see allergies to juniper in the Albuquerque area. As Spring advances several other trees and weeds begin polinating making life miserable for many people. Treatment is available for these bothersome conditions and we provide state of the art care for them. The majority are mild cases that can be treated with oral medications, nose sprays and eye drops. More severe allergy conditions warrant allergy testing which we do in our office. If necessary we can provide immunotherapy for long term reduction in allergy symptoms with the added advantage of teaching you to do most of this therapy in your home instead of having to come to our office frequently. Whatever the case, we can help with allergies in any number of ways. Let us show you how we can minimize your child's symptoms so you can all enjoy the Spring weather.

CDC Vaccines

We know that some people worry about the effect of vaccines these days. The CDC provides science based information about vaccine schedules, purposes, risks, etc. And, no, the government is NOT trying to hurt your child. Vaccines are thoroughly investigated before used in the general population. Millions of doses have been administered and any adverse events reported, so we know they are safe. That being said, we also know that some parents remain skeptical and we are happy to answer any questions or modify vaccine administration for those who are worried about them. |
