Case Study Overview
Patient: Emily, 42, Arizona resident
Condition: Persistent nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and fatigue every spring
Diagnosis: Allergic rhinitis triggered by Scotch broom pollen
Clinic: Enticare Allergy & Sleep Center
Background
Emily experienced worsening allergy symptoms each spring, especially when driving through areas with dense Scotch broom growth. Over-the-counter medications provided minimal relief, prompting her to visit Enticare.
Approach
Enticare’s allergy specialists conducted a skin prick test, confirming sensitivity to Scotch broom pollen. A personalized plan was developed, including:
-
Prescription antihistamines
-
Nasal corticosteroid spray
-
HEPA filter use at home
-
Long-term immunotherapy to build pollen tolerance
Results
After three months, Emily reported a 70% reduction in symptoms. Following a full course of immunotherapy, her reactions became mild and infrequent.
Conclusion
With expert evaluation and a tailored treatment plan, patients like Emily can regain comfort and control over seasonal allergies.
