Sinus and Allergy Treatments

Welcome to Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy. I’m your pharmacist, Paul White. We’re glad you joined us. Before we begin, I’d like to thank our sponsors, Aultman Health Systems, Studio Arts & Glass, and Jenior Appraisals and Liquidations.

Today Brad and I are broadcasting from our administrative offices and our guest is, Dr. Aaron Brescia, Board certified Head and Neck surgeon from Ohio Head and Neck.

Allergic Rhinitis, also called hay fever, is an allergic reaction that causes sneezing, congestion, an itchy nose, and a sore throat. Pollen, pet dander, mold, and insects can lead to hay fever symptoms. Hay fever can make you feel awful, but you can find relief with lifestyle changes, allergy medications, and immunotherapy allergy shots.  This morning we will talk with Dr. Bresica about allergies, sinusitis, and Ohio Head and Neck Surgeon’s Ascent Surgery Center.

The Ascent Surgery Center means you and your family have a choice!  Your family’s ear, nose, and throat outpatient surgery can now be performed closer to home at the Ascent Family Surgery Center by the caring doctors at Ohio Head and Neck Surgeons. If you or a loved one suffer from allergies or sinusitis, you won’t want to miss today’s show as we discuss sinus and allergy treatments with Dr. Brescia.
