Treatment for dust mite allergies in North Texas.

Dust Mite Allergy Symptoms

Dust mites thrive in warm, humid environments and are commonly found throughout the home, including in bedding, furniture, carpeting, rugs and curtains. When the body fragments and waste from dust mites become airborne, they can spread quickly and trigger reactions. People with dust mite allergies typically experience the following symptoms.
  • Sneezing
  • Postnasal drip
  • Stuffed up or runny nose
  • Coughing
  • Itchy red eyes
  • Skin rashes or eczema

At TexasAllergyMD we provide comprehensive allergy treatments for adults and children who are facing the effects of a dust mite allergy.

Dust Mite Testing and Treatment

Our dedicated team guides patients through every component of their allergy care, from initial consultation to diagnosis, treatment and ongoing monitoring. Before treatment can begin, we first confirm dust mites allergies using skin prick testing or blood allergy testing.
Dr. Mireku will then develop a dust mite allergy treatment plan that may include the following solutions.
  • Recommendations for home and lifestyle changes to reduce exposure to dust mites.
  • Medication like antihistamines and corticosteroids to reduce the severity of symptoms.
  • Immunotherapy (allergy shots) to build a patient’s tolerance to dust mites with gradually timed allergen doses.

By personalizing treatments for each patient we can reduce allergy symptom severity and help prevent complications. Our treatment methods and patient-focused approach deliver lasting relief from dust mite allergies for better health and well-being.

Common Questions About Dust Mite Allergies

To reduce the number of dust mites in the home, vacuum carpet and rugs regularly, wash bedding weekly, get allergen-proof bed covers and use a HEPA air filter. Reducing the amount of clutter in the home can also help reduce dust buildup.

Untreated dust mite allergies can lead to chronic sinus infections and may trigger asthma symptoms. Individuals may suffer from persistent coughing, wheezing and breathing difficulties, with symptoms causing sleeping issues and poor health in general.

The people most at risk for developing dust mite allergies are those with a family history of allergies and asthma, anyone exposed to high levels of dust mites from a young age, as well as those living in humid climates with poor ventilation.
