Allergy Testing Services for Canton Residents

Asthma Diagnosis and Treatment for Canton
Asthma disrupts daily life and is a common long-term illness. We provide asthma diagnosis and treatment for Canton patients. The breathing condition has no cure, but you can manage it with the proper treatment. Our board-certified asthma doctor commits to giving you a higher quality of life. We treat adult and pediatric asthmatic patients in our center. Our asthma doctors diagnose anyone six years and up using a spirometry or breathing test. We examine children under six based on symptoms. The asthma doctor may need to perform allergy testing to develop a treatment plan. Allergens cause asthma, and we need to determine potential triggers. Part of managing asthma is avoidance and medication. Avoiding irritants and triggers reduces and prevents asthma attacks. Allergens like dust, pollen, dander, or perfume will agitate the condition. Asthma can develop from respiratory infections, exercise, and even Massachusetts winter air. Asthmatic symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and trouble breathing. Our asthma doctor is committed to providing high-quality care and relief. Managing your condition lets you live a higher quality of life.

You may have a watery and itchy nose or eyes or stuffiness. Our immunologist will decide on blood or skin food allergy testing. We can also perform food allergy testing on infants. Common allergic foods include dairy, nuts, fish, wheat, and seed. Unfortunately, food allergies have no cure, but you can manage them.
