If antihistamines aren’t controlling your winter allergy symptoms, it may be time to look deeper.
Indoor allergens are a common cause — and allergy testing can help identify triggers.

For many patients, allergy shots can provide long-term symptom relief rather than temporary fixes.

Schedule a visit with Mark Kalenian, MD, a caring IVY league trained, board-certified Dothan allergist at Alabama Asthma & Allergy Care Center, PC with over 27 years experience.

🍁 Thanksgiving Allergy Tips from Alabama Asthma & Allergy Care Center, PC of Dothan, AL 🍁

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to gather with family — but it can also be a minefield for allergies, asthma, and food sensitivities. Here are a few quick tips to help everyone enjoy the day safely:

🦃 1. Ask about ingredients
Holiday dishes often include hidden allergens like nuts, dairy, soy, wheat, and eggs. Don’t hesitate to ask what’s in a dish — most hosts appreciate the question.

🥧 2. Watch out for cross-contamination
Serving utensils, cutting boards, and shared platters can transfer allergens. Keep allergic-safe foods separate.

🌰 3. Beware of “surprise ingredients”
Stuffing, casseroles, gravy, and desserts often contain nuts or milk. Even turkey can be injected with broth that includes allergens.

🌿 4. Bring a safe dish
If you or your child has food allergies, bringing a trusted dish is the easiest way to ensure there’s something you can eat.

💉 5. Keep your epinephrine auto-injector with you
Don’t leave it in the car or another room. Holiday reactions can happen fast.

🔥 6. Asthma tip: Watch for fireplace smoke, scented candles, and strong perfumes — all common asthma triggers at holiday gatherings.

🍽️ 7. For hosts: Label dishes when possible
A simple note (“contains nuts,” “dairy-free,” “gluten-free”) can prevent emergencies.

❤️ From our allergy family to yours — we wish you a safe, healthy, and joyful Thanksgiving!
