What Are Nasal Polyps?

Nasal polyps are soft, non-cancerous growths that form inside your nose or sinuses. They can get quite large and can block your nose, making it hard to breathe. You might also have a runny or stuffy nose, pressure in your face, or lose your sense of smell or taste.

Nasal polyps are more common in people with asthma, allergies, or frequent sinus infections. Sometimes, they happen with a condition called AERD (aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease). Nasal polyps are more common in patients with asthma or allergic rhinitis (hay fever).

Doctors usually treat polyps with steroid nose sprays to help shrink them. If that doesn’t work, there are other specialized medications, called biologics, that can be used if needed to help reduce symptoms and polyp size. Surgery can remove large polyps and help you breathe better. However, polyps can come back after surgery! So regular follow-up care and preventative medication is important.

With the right treatment, most people with nasal polyps feel much better and can breathe easier again and may be able to avoid surgery! If you have symptoms that don’t go away, talk to your allergist about your symptoms.

How to emphasize food allergy safety with your teenager

As children grow into teenagers and young adults, their push for independence sometimes clashes with the need to stay vigilant about their food allergies. It’s important for teens to feel independent and make their own choices, and fitting in socially is also important to them at this age. Parents still play a key role in making sure teens with food allergies are kept safe. Here are some tips to consider when navigating food allergies with your teen:

Avoid lecturing or arguing
Teens are different from younger kids. Teens often already know what you want them to do. It’s more effective to enforce important safety rules calmly. Repeating rules or scolding can lead to resistance or shutdown rather than cooperation.

Negotiate where possible
Carrying an epinephrine device is non-negotiable if someone has food allergy. However, finding areas where you can compromise gives teens some control and ownership. For example, agreeing on how they carry their epinephrine (type of device, carrier, style, etc.).

Allow them to take the lead
When dining out, allow your teen to ask questions about ingredients and food preparation. If taking your own food or snacks on a trip, allow your teen to plan ahead for the trip and help decide what to bring. This will also prepare them for navigating the adult years ahead!

Use tech to your advantage
If your teen forgets their epinephrine often, have them set reminders on their own phone or smart watch.

Help them choose a safety network
Help your teen choose a few close friends who know about their allergy and how to treat it. Knowing you’ve got back up can make social situations less stressful.

Use positive reinforcement
Encourage your teen to speak up about their food allergy in social situations, even if they feel social pressure. When you catch your teen doing something “good” –such as asking about ingredients or declining a food they are not sure is safe –praise them for this later. This positive reinforcement can help build confidence in managing their food allergy long-term.

Ragweed Season in Arizona: Why It Still Makes You Miserable
When people think of allergies in Arizona, they often picture dust, desert plants, or spring blooms. But ragweed is a major allergy trigger here, especially in late summer and fall. Even though Arizona’s dry climate limits pollen compared to other states, ragweed thrives in certain areas and can cause months of frustrating symptoms.

Ragweed's lightweight pollen can travel miles on the wind, especially in dry climates, so even if you don’t see ragweed nearby, you can still have symptoms! In Arizona,, ragweed typically pollinates from August through November

Tips on Managing Ragweed Season in Arizona:
Be in the know by checking local pollen counts!

Shower and change clothes after being outside to keep pollen out of your home.

Use air filters indoors to reduce pollen and dust exposure.

Work with an allergist — testing can confirm ragweed sensitivity, and treatments like various medications or allergy immunotherapy (shots or tablets) can provide relief!

If you think ragweed season may be to blame for your fall allergies, call Arizona Asthma and Allergy Institute today to schedule allergy testing and get ahead of the ragweed season!

Stings happen – Bee prepared!

We see many patients who are unsure whether their reaction to a bee, wasp, or hornet sting is normal—or something more serious. Most people will have some swelling, redness, and pain where they were stung. But if you’ve ever felt dizzy, had trouble breathing, broken out in hives, or your throat started to close after a sting, that’s a sign of a more serious allergic reaction or anaphylaxis.

Stinging insect allergies can be dangerous, but the good news is—they’re treatable. At the allergy clinic, we can run simple tests to find out which insects you’re allergic to. If you are allergic, we’ll make a plan together to help keep you safe. This usually includes carrying an epinephrine auto-injector (like an EpiPen or similar device), learning how to avoid stings, and possibly starting venom immunotherapy—a treatment that can actually train your body to stop reacting to strings over time.

You don’t have to live in fear of the next sting. If you’ve ever had a serious reaction—or aren’t sure what’s normal—please schedule a visit with an allergist. Knowing the facts and having a plan can be life-saving.
