Body Talk 8/4/15

Tonight my guest was Mr Paul Chatrath, an ENT consultant at Spire Hartswood Hospital in Brentwood. He qualified in 1995 and offers private consultation, treatment and surgery for all sorts of ear, nose, throat, head and neck problems. Tonight he was talking about allergies and we began with the common problem of hayfever.

Hayfever can start as early as February with different types of tree pollen being  released into the air. It continues  through the year as the plants , trees and grasses continue to grow and release pollen. Not everyone is sensitive to the same type of pollen and the symptoms may be different for each person, bit in general it means many weeks of sneezing, runny noses and itchy eyes.

Not all allergies are seasonal. You may have an allergy to house dust or animal fur, if that’s the case it will be an all year round condition.

Most allergies can be controlled by avoiding contact with the offending trigger. If that isn’t possible, it can be treated with medication. There is normally a simple test to find out what is causing the allergy. A solution is applied to the arm, and if the skin reacts the allergy is diagnosed. If the cause is more elusive, a blood test may be necessary.

If you’d like to find out about your allergy, you can book an appointment with Mr Chatrath at Spire on 01277 266766.
