Allergy symptoms, causes, and treatment options
Allergies don’t have to control your life
Living with allergies means more than just the occasional sneeze. For many people across northern Alabama and southern Tennessee, it means constant sinus pressure, recurring infections, fatigue, postnasal drip, and a daily battle to breathe clearly.
At B&B Sinus and Allergy Relief Centers, we help patients get real, long-term relief from allergy symptoms—not just short-term fixes.
Whether your allergies flare up seasonally or affect you year-round, we offer testing and treatment options that go beyond daily medications and over-the-counter sprays.
What causes allergies in Northern Alabama and Southern Tennessee?
Thanks to our warm, humid climate and long growing seasons, allergy season here isn’t just in the spring. It can feel like it never ends.
Some of the most common allergens include:
Tree Pollen
especially in the spring (oak, cedar, pine, maple)
Grass Pollen
peaking in late spring and early summer
Weeds and Ragweed
particularly in late summer and fall
Mold Spores
often year-round due to humidity
Dust Mites
common in bedding and carpet
Pet Dander
from cats and dogs
Household Irritants
like smoke or strong cleaning products
Why ENT-led allergy care matters
Allergy symptoms are closely tied to sinus health. That’s why ENT specialists (ear, nose, and throat doctors) are uniquely positioned to identify and treat allergies that cause inflammation, blockages, and repeat sinus infections.
At B&B Sinus and Allergy Relief Centers, we focus on more than just symptom control. We evaluate the why behind your issues, whether that’s allergic swelling, structural problems, or chronic inflammation and create a treatment plan that targets the cause.
Our allergy evaluations include:
a thorough review of your medical and symptom history
in-office allergy testing to identify specific triggers
sinus imaging if needed to check for inflammation or blockages
personalized treatment recommendations based on your lifestyle and health goals
Tired of managing symptoms? Start treating the cause.
If you’ve been taking antihistamines every day or relying on nasal sprays just to get through the week, it might be time for a new approach.
We offer allergy drops (sublingual immunotherapy), a treatment that helps desensitize your immune system to the allergens that are making you miserable. These drops are taken at home under the tongue—no needles, no frequent office visits.
Sublingual drops are ideal for:
patients who want a long-term allergy solution
children or adults who don’t want weekly allergy shots
busy families looking for convenient, at-home care
people who react to multiple allergens at once
