What Is An Allergy?
An allergy is an undesirable immune reaction to substances that are harmless to most of the population. These substances are called allergens and include things like grass, dust, animal dander, certain food, and medication.
Allergic reactions vary widely from relatively mild and harmless, to life-threatening and can be extremely debilitating.
The most critical clinical intervention in allergic conditions is to establish a correct diagnosis. This is the only way you can effectively manage the condition.
Conditions We Treat
Allergic Rhinitis
Common inflammatory condition that occurs when the nose is exposed to allergens such as pollen, pet dander or dust.

Consider seeing an ENT specialist if you experience any of the following symptoms of allergic rhinitis, particularly if they persist or start to affect your quality of life:
- Nasal congestion and discharge

- Itchy eyes or throat

You may also be referred to an ENT specialist by your GP
If you have been experiencing any of these symptoms and are concerned, book an appointment with an A/Prof Sethi.
