Penicillin and Seasonal Allergy Testing and Treatment at UMMC
September 04, 2024Are you worried about allergies? Whether it's penicillin or seasonal triggers, the University of Maryland Medical Center’s Allergy Clinic has you covered.
Penicillin Allergy Testing
Think you’re allergic to penicillin? There’s a 95 percent chance you might not be. Our testing can confirm if you have a true allergy, allowing health care professionals to use penicillin to treat future infections safely. Common misconceptions include rashes unrelated to antibiotics or reactions like stomachaches that aren't true allergies. Many people also outgrow allergies over time.
Seasonal Allergy Relief
Say goodbye to sneezes and itchy eyes. Our clinic offers immunotherapy and allergy shots that target environmental allergens such as pets, dust mites, molds, and pollens.
Tune in to Andrea Hebert, MD, MPH, assistant professor of otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, as she shares insights on managing allergies and available treatments.
