Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology

Call us: 815-599-6930

An allergy is your body's immune system reacting to something that doesn’t bother most other people. Common allergies include adverse reactions to:

• Pollen
• Dust mites
• Mold spores
• Pet dander
• Certain types of food
• Insect stings
• Certain medicines

Allergies can cause anything from minor symptoms like a runny nose and watery eyes to serious, severe reactions that can be life-threatening emergencies.

Skin and blood tests help your provider diagnose allergies. Treatments offered at FHN include medicines, injections and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), giving a patient small doses of an allergen under the tongue to boost tolerance and reduce symptoms.

Many of our specialty care offices require a referral from primary care for your initial visit, so if you're already an FHN patient, you may need to contact your primary care provider for more information. If you're new to FHN, or don't have a primary care provider, call the number above and you'll have a primary care appointment before you hang up the phone!* Thank you for choosing FHN!
