Breathe Easy Again: Personalised Allergy Treatments That Work
Sneezing fits in spring, itchy skin after certain foods, or wheezing around pets — allergies can sneak into every corner of daily life. For many in the UK, allergies aren’t just seasonal annoyances; they’re ongoing health challenges that affect comfort, focus, and even safety. If you’re struggling with unexplained symptoms, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to suffer in silence.
At Chase Lodge Hospital, we offer accurate diagnosis and tailored allergy treatments that target the root cause, not just the symptoms. Whether your triggers are environmental, dietary, or chemical, our expert clinicians are here to help you regain control and breathe easier.
What Are Allergies?
Allergies are the result of the immune system reacting to a substance it mistakenly identifies as harmful. These substances — known as allergens — can be found in pollen, dust mites, animal dander, mould, foods, insect stings, and even medications. When exposed, the body produces histamines and other chemicals, causing symptoms such as:
Sneezing, nasal congestion, or runny nose
Itchy or watery eyes
Skin rashes or hives
Swelling of the lips, face, or throat
Coughing, wheezing, or breathlessness
Digestive issues like bloating, nausea, or diarrhoea
The severity can range from mild irritation to life-threatening reactions, such as anaphylaxis. In the UK, allergic conditions affect one in three people, with rates continuing to rise — especially among children.
Identifying the Cause: The Key to Effective Treatment
The first step in managing allergies is pinpointing the exact cause. Unfortunately, many people spend years guessing — cutting out foods, avoiding pets, or relying on over-the-counter antihistamines — without real relief.
At Chase Lodge Hospital, we provide comprehensive allergy testing using a combination of:
Skin prick tests
Blood tests (specific IgE)
Patch testing for contact allergies
Elimination diets and food challenge testing, if appropriate
These tools help us map out your immune response and identify the allergens that are truly affecting you. Once the triggers are known, we can tailor a personalised treatment plan to fit your needs.
Personalised Allergy Treatments We Offer
Allergy treatment is not one-size-fits-all. At Chase Lodge Hospital, our approach is both evidence-based and patient-centred, helping you manage symptoms while reducing your reliance on daily medication. Our treatments include:
1. Avoidance and Allergen Control
Where possible, avoiding your specific allergen is the first and most natural step. We provide expert advice on reducing exposure — from dietary guidance for food allergies to home modifications for dust mite and mould sensitivities.
2. Medications
For many, daily management through prescribed medications can offer significant relief. Options may include:
Antihistamines
Nasal corticosteroids
Asthma inhalers for respiratory allergies
Topical creams for skin reactions
Our team will guide you to the safest and most effective options, based on the type and severity of your allergy.
3. Immunotherapy (Desensitisation)
If your allergies are severe, persistent, or significantly affecting your quality of life, allergy immunotherapy may be recommended. This involves introducing small, gradually increasing doses of the allergen over time to help your immune system build tolerance. It is especially useful for hay fever, dust mites, and insect sting allergies.
We offer both sublingual (under-the-tongue) tablets and injection-based immunotherapy, depending on your condition and lifestyle.
Allergy Treatment for Children
Children can suffer significantly from untreated allergies — affecting sleep, school performance, and social life. At Chase Lodge Hospital, we provide gentle, age-appropriate allergy testing and treatment, helping families better understand and manage childhood allergies in a supportive environment.
