Welcome to Strauss Allergy & Asthma – Commack

Learning that you or someone you love suffers from health problems related to allergies or asthma can be scary. That is why we are committed to delivering exceptional allergy and asthma treatment.

Allergy Treatments

Allergy symptoms arise when a person’s immune system believes its body is under attack. The body will treat a common item like a dangerous virus or bacteria and will overreact in an attempt to remove the usually harmless allergen from the system.

Our practice offers comprehensive allergy testing to determine the allergens that affect the patient and treatments to provide relief.

Testing

• Skin testing
• Blood testing
• Guided elimination diets
• Oral food challenges

Treatments

• Allergy shots
• Emergency medications, such as auto-injectable epinephrine
• Eye drops
• Food elimination
• Medication
• Nasal sprays
• Sinus rinses
• Topical creams and ointments

Asthma Treatments

Asthma tends to appear in childhood and can last throughout adulthood. An asthma attack happens when there is irritation in the lungs after encountering an asthma-inducing trigger. The airways to the lungs swell, cutting off airflow and making it difficult for someone to breathe.

Airway trouble includes:

• Inflammation
• Thick mucus buildup
• Muscle tightness

Asthma Testing and Management

Our asthma specialists are dedicated to helping patients stay ahead of asthma attacks so they can experience easy breathing and peace of mind.

• We will perform comprehensive breathing tests to determine if the patient has asthma or other breathing complications.
• We will create an asthma care plan designed around the patient’s needs, complete with medications and other necessary treatments.
• We will provide informative resources to help you manage asthma at home and on the go.

Struggling with breathing or general respiratory complications is hard. We deliver specialized pulmonology care for patients to help them breathe easily.

Pulmonology is the specialized treatment of breathing problems in children, teens, and adults. Whether the condition is congenital or developed over time, our pulmonologists will perform thorough testing and use our findings to treat the source of the condition, leading our patients toward better breathing.

Pulmonology Testing Options:

• Lung volume testing
• Oxygen saturation testing
• Spirometry
• Bronchodilator
• FeNO

A good night’s sleep is crucial for a child’s healthy development and an adult’s overall health. If you or your loved one struggles to sleep at night, our sleep specialists can help.

• Periodic limb movement
• Restless leg syndrome

Our sleep specialists perform comprehensive sleep evaluations to determine what is interrupting sleep. We then use our findings to create effective treatment plans to resolve the issue and achieve restful sleep.
