Richmond Allergy and Asthma Specialists, formerly Catlett
Allergy Associates, specialize in the management of allergy related diseases in adults and children.
These include asthma, hay fever, allergic rhinitis, eczema, repeated respiratory
infections, food allergies, hives, bee-sting reactions and drug allergies.
Frequent ear infections, chronic sinusitis and headaches often are allergy
related.
Many people have allergies. The signs and symptoms
often are unrecognized or attributed to other causes such as a "cold"
that always occurs in the Spring. Common allergic symptoms include runny
nose, nasal congestion, post nasal drip, cough, hoarseness, itchy watery eyes, dry skin, itching and hives. Allergic symptoms can be present all
year or during specific seasons. Asthma, which is usually caused or
worsened by allergies, can produce cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness
and reduced exercise tolerance in addition to the classic wheezing. Food
allergies can cause hives, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anaphylaxis, wheezing,
eczema, headaches and heartburn. The food that produces a reaction is not always
obvious. Colic, formula intolerance, spitting up, and eczema in infants
may be due to food allergies.
Richmond Allergy and Asthma Specialists has a friendly,
experienced and informed technical staff, most having been with the practice for
a number of years. This experience provides for excellence and accuracy in
diagnosis and treatment. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you.
