Understanding Allergic Diseases
Allergic diseases occur when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach to identify allergens and develop personalized treatment plans involving immunologists, pulmonologists, and dermatologists.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Skin Prick Tests: To identify specific allergens.
- Blood Tests: Measuring IgE antibody levels.
- Patch Testing: For contact dermatitis identification.
- Pulmonary Function Tests: To assess respiratory involvement.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve allergen avoidance, medications, immunotherapy, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to strengthen immune system balance.
- Avoidance Strategies: Environmental controls and lifestyle changes.
- Medications: Antihistamines, corticosteroids, and decongestants.
- Immunotherapy: Allergy shots to desensitize the immune system.
- Integrative TCM: Herbal formulas and acupuncture to regulate immunity.
