Immunology (Allergy & Asthma) in Eau Claire, Wisconsin

You may wonder what allergies and asthma have in common besides making you miserable. A lot, as it turns out. Allergies and asthma often occur together. The same substances that trigger hay fever symptoms may also cause asthma symptoms, such as shortness of breath, wheezing and chest tightness. This is called allergic asthma or allergy-induced asthma. Certain substances, such as pollen, dust mites and pet dander, are common triggers. In some people, skin or food allergies can cause asthma symptoms.

You should not be satisfied until your allergies and/or asthma are under control and your quality of life is improved. In the Allergy & Asthma Department in Eau Claire, we treat many conditions to help get your symptoms under control, including:
