As the weather becomes hotter and filled with humidity, flare-ups related to skin conditions are to be expected. It is common for atopic dermatitis (eczema) and urticaria (hives) to flare up during the summer months. The heat, sun, and sweat can all trigger skin conditions. Preparing for flare-ups will allow you to enjoy the summer months, instead of being miserable and itchy. Having a treatment plan already in place will allow you to stay ahead of your condition. It is also important to drink plenty of water. https://nationalallergyandent.com/skin-conditions-summer-flare-ups/

Charleston locals know… one of the best parts of living here is spotting dolphins in the wild 🐬🌊

Some of my favorite places to catch a dolphin sighting in Charleston:
• The Cooper River at sunset
• Goose Creek near the marshes and boat landings
• Shem Creek
• Pitt Street Bridge
• The waterways around Daniel Island
• Folly Beach & Morris Island

There’s just something magical about seeing dolphins surface while you’re out walking, boating, or grabbing dinner on the water. It’s one of those everyday Charleston moments that never gets old. 💙

Come visit us at National Allergy and ENT and take a boat tour while you are here.

Now that spring has sprung everyone is spending more time outdoors. The more time spent outdoors, the more likely an insect will sting you. It is important to spot the difference between an allergic reaction and a normal reaction to an insect sting.

According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, most insect stings in the United States come from yellow jackets, honeybees, hornets, wasps, and fire ants. When stung by an insect, a reaction will occur, but a normal reaction versus an allergic reaction differs in symptoms. A normal reaction will result in swelling and redness that is confined to the sting site, as well as pain. A reaction for someone with an insect sting allergy will include: pain, redness, swelling (in the area of the sting and farther), hives, itching, flushing, and in some cases anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a serious, life-threatening reaction that includes: feeling faint, difficulty breathing, wheezing, fast heartbeat, clammy skin, hives, nausea, and/or swelling of the tongue. https://nationalallergyandent.com/insect-sting-allergy/

Thanks for another great review: Very impressed with this location. Checking in was fast and easy. They don't just leave you in a room. They checked on us until the appointment was complete. When they administered the test it was fast and done with the utmost care. The doctor was very knowledgeable and very patient as well as the nurses. They answered every question and concern. They even allowed him to have as many lollipops as he wanted to help keep him calm, as well as, toys and coloring books. Taking it a step further, the nurses even came and just sat and talked with him while we waited for the doctor and results. They really made us feel welcomed. I absolutely have faith and trust in them. This was the best doctor's visit my son has ever had.
