Allergies in Winter - The impact of untreated dust mite allergies

Do you or your child frequently suffer from runny nose, itchy eyes, scratchy throat, sneezing, tiredness and even eczema and asthma flare-ups? The cause of their symptoms could be an allergic reaction to dust mites. These microscopic creatures thrive in the bedding and furniture of your home, feeding off human skin.

Untreated, these symptoms could contribute to low energy levels, concentration and behavioural issues. It can also lead to poor sleep quality, including chronic mouth breathing. 

Many people don’t know that chronic mouth breathing overnight can lead to permanent facial deformities in children. This can manifest as stunted jaw growth, improper teeth alignment, and changes in facial shape.

If you’re worried that allergies might make life uncomfortable for you or your child, book to see Dr. Jason Yu at Myhealth South Eveleigh. He is a qualified Allergist who can perform skin prick testing to diagnose allergies and prescribe desensitisation therapy. Desensitisation therapy is a long-term solution to allergies where you train your body to tolerate these allergies. No referral is required.
