Target the Cause, Not Just the Symptoms

At The Barranco Clinic, we understand how profoundly allergies can impact your quality of life. From seasonal triggers to year-round environmental irritants, our goal is to help you move beyond temporary relief and toward long-term health. That’s why we offer approaches to allergy management designed to match your lifestyle, needs, and wellness goals.

Selecting the Right Allergy Solution for You

Medication

While over-the-counter or prescription medications can ease symptoms like congestion, sneezing, or itchy eyes, they only provide short-term relief. Medications:

Act as a temporary solution
Do not address the root cause
Are often considered a “band-aid” approach

Allergen Avoidance

Avoiding your specific allergens is the best defense, but also the hardest to maintain
Environmental allergens like pollen, mold, pet dander, or dust mites are impossible to entirely avoid, especially in Central Florida
While this method is proactive, it’s not always realistic

Allergy Treatment (Drops or Shots)

If you're ready for a lasting, natural solution, immunotherapy may be your best path forward. Allergy drops and shots work by:

Training your immune system to tolerate allergens
Modifying allergic responses over time
Providing the only option for long-term desensitization
