Neurology Treatment for Allergies
If you are consistently suffering from allergies and other treatments have failed, we would like to offer you a different approach to treating your allergies. So, your nose is running. You are itching, sneezing. Perhaps you should see a physician specializing in diagnosing and treating asthma and other allergic diseases like an allergist. That is the most common course of action. However, recent studies show that the symptoms go beyond the expertise of an allergist in many cases.
You see trigeminal nerve is a large nerve that branches to different parts of the face. More often than not, a runny nose, itching, sneezing, and other allergy symptoms result from irritation of the trigeminal nerve. That is the main reason why you should consider a neurologist for your allergy treatment. That especially true if, after several visits to your allergist and following the prescribed treatment doesn’t seem to be working or is not proven more effective than over-the-counter medications like Claritin, Xyzal, or Zyrtec.
The Alternative Medicine Encyclopedia says, “Allergies are abnormal or inappropriate reactions of the nervous system that occur in response to harmless substances.” So, if we are going to be consistent with the 2020 mantra and trust the science, why not have a neurologist, a doctor who diagnoses and treats problems with the brain and nervous system treat the “nervous system” and your allergies?
Dr. Bashar Mohsen, a neurologist at WellCare South Florida, is a leading local neurologist with an impeccable resume and a ton of experience in treating allergy symptoms, as well as an array of other condition, including but not limited to:
- Alzheimer’s disease
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease)
- Back pain
- Brain and spinal cord injury or infection
- Brain tumor
- Epilepsy
- Headaches
- Multiple sclerosis
- Parkinson’s disease
- Peripheral neuropathy (a disease that affects your nerves)
- Pinched nerves

- Tremors (uncontrollable movements)
What to expect from your visit to Dr. Bashar Mohsen?
The objective of your first visit is to get acquainted with what is troubling you. Have a conversation about your medical history and your symptoms. Allergies don’t affect everyone the same way. For this reason, we may have you take a physical exam that focuses on your brain and nerves. Also, know that even if we have a good idea of your diagnosis from the exam, we’ll probably need other tests to confirm it. Our objective is to restore your quality of life at the end of the day, not just to prescribe some medicine to get you over the episode. We believe in the science and accurate diagnosis. We hope you come to see and us and looking forward to improving your quality of life!
