Back to School and Allergies
In the late summer of each year millions of students return to college, where the usual challenges of class work and crusty professors are expected, as are camaraderie with peers and the excitement of fall football season. Parents should be aware that allergy problems can flare as the students leave their homes and enter an environment that tends to have far more allergens than the home environment.

How to manage your child’s environmental allergies Part 2
Now that we know the top reasons your child suffers with allergies, what do you do about it? Is there anything that helps alleviate the symptoms of allergies, or even better, gets rid of the allergies altogether? There are three steps that most people take when they discover they or their children have allergies:
Top 4 Reasons Your Child Suffers with Enviromental Allergies Part 1
It’s estimated that around 50 million Americans suffer with allergies. The typical symptoms of a child with allergies include frequent sneezing, wheezing, coughing, and itching; itchy eyes, itchy skin, runny nose, and/or congested nose. If these symptoms last longer than two weeks or if you notice the symptoms occurring seasonally, chances are high your child has allergies.
Does Hearing Loss Cause Dementia?

Once an individual starts to display signs of hearing loss, it’s common that the person will wait 10-12 years before seeking medical attention for the hearing loss. But what if prolonging seeking medical attention increases the chance for getting Dementia?
What’s the big deal with Q-tips?
January 13th, 2017
We’ve all heard the age-old warning to refrain from sticking Q-tips in our ears, but is it really that big of a deal? We get wax build up in our ears and naturally want to get it out. Why not use a perfectly shaped Q-tip to clean out that pesky wax?
First, let’s address the reason our bodies produce ear wax. Ear wax, more formally known as cerumen, is produced by a combination of glands in the ear canal called sebaceous and sweat glands. Every person produces ear wax at a different rate. Some people may produce a hard plug of wax and others may produce hardly any at all. The most well-known reason ear wax is produced in the ears is to prevent foreign bodies such as dust, hair, dead skin cells, and bugs (yes, even those creepy crawlers) from getting into the ear canal. When yawning or chewing, the trapped particles will make their way out of the ear canal. Other than keeping foreign objects out of the ear, ear wax is very acidic which lessens the chances of fungus growing in the ear. Ear wax is also considered a lubrication that prevents dryness and itching. So, ask yourself – why would you want to remove something that’s supposed to protect your body?

3 Reasons to Take Your Child to a Pediatric ENT Doctor
August 9th, 2016
Imagine this: Your child wakes up on the first day of school with a runny nose and extreme ear pain. Oh no, it's the first day of school and your child is sick! Your first instinct is to call his/her pediatrician, but as you’re on the phone scheduling the appointment, your child tells you he/she has been having some ear pain off and on for a few days.
