Combating Allergies And Voice Disorders

If you look back two or three years, are there certain months when your runny nose, sneezing and itching eyes seem to peak? Or do you find yourself constantly clearing your throat no matter the season? Maybe every time you eat or drink a certain something, you have a noticeable reaction? Then chances are, you are an allergy sufferer. Often times it’s hard to know if it’s a cold or if it’s allergies – but consistency is key. If the same symptoms spark up every March – or if the symptoms just never seem to go away, the first step to relief is to consult an allergy expert. We have several treatment options for seasonal allergies.

Voice Disorders

In addition to a focus on allergy diagnosis and treatment, we also specialize in voice disorders. Patients in need of medical attention to address voice issues have either experienced acute onset of voice difficulties, had a hoarse sound to their voice for several weeks or, in many cases, are active smokers.

The solution can be as simple as speech therapy or learning better breathing techniques or it could require a surgical procedure for the best outcome. To determine your personal course of action, our team will talk with you to understand how you use your voice and how often. For example, someone who works in road construction and spends a majority of the day yelling to be heard will use his voice differently than a front desk receptionist.

Taking the time to get to know you, your lifestyle and your needs is just one of the many aspects that sets Georgia Ear, Nose & Throat Specialists apart. We listen, we take down your history, and we never assume a diagnosis. We engage in conversation, rather than simply talking ‘doctor’ talk that leaves you with unanswered questions. By doing so, we ensure you understand exactly what we’re thinking and what treatment we’re recommending every step of the way.
