Did you know there’s a right way to blow your nose? Mastering this technique can help prevent sinus pain, infections, and irritation! Here’s how:

1️⃣ Close one nostril with gentle pressure.
2️⃣ Blow gently through the open nostril.
3️⃣ Repeat on the other side.

🚫 Avoid blowing too hard! It can force mucus into your sinuses or Eustachian tubes, leading to sinus infections, ear infections, or even nosebleeds.

Follow this process with a medicated nasal spray such as Fluticasone (Flonase) or triamcinolone (Nasacort). If this is not enough, the specialists at can assist with prescription options or comprehensive testing to address the root cause of your symptoms.

If your child is struggling with stubborn eczema, it is tempting to eliminate foods until you find the one “causing” it. However, this strategy is outdated and can lead to more harm than good.

While children with eczema have an increased risk of food and environmental allergies, the evidence increasingly goes against broad elimination diets—in fact food avoidance early in life can increase the risk of a severe, anaphylactic food reaction because the immune system no longer recognizes what it should or shouldn’t be allergic to. Furthermore, it puts the child at risk for nutritional deficiencies and often just doesn’t work.

Before blindly embarking on any dietary changes, consult with an allergist familiar with both food and skin allergy. This is the safest and most effective route to long term skin care. Call 903-757-3808 for appointments.

Don’t confuse steroid shots, often given in urgent care and ER settings, with real treatment of asthma and allergies. Yes, steroids make you feel better, but does not change the disease in the long term and come with very real side effects.

At East Texas Allergy & Asthma, our job is to keep patients breathing well in the future, not just today. If you or your loved ones are struggling with these conditions, we offer a variety of treatments including precision allergen immunotherapy and biologics targeting allergic inflammation without the negatives of steroids. Call 903-757-3808 to schedule a visit.
