Think Neuro Mini: Treating Allergic Rhinitis with Michael Yong, MD, MPH, MBA

Allergic rhinitis is a chronic condition, characterized by inflammation of the nasal passages and is usually triggered by exposure to allergens such as pollen or pet dander. An incredibly common condition, allergic rhinitis affects about 1 in 5 people. Symptoms include sneezing, nasal congestion, a runny nose, and allergic conjunctivitis. Over-the-counter medications like antihistamines and nasal sprays are a common treatment to alleviating symptoms.

Michael Yong, MD, MPH, MBA, is board certified in Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery, and fellowship-trained in Neurorhinology – Advanced Sinus & Skull Base Surgery. At Pacific Neuroscience Institute®, Dr. Yong provides full-service general Otolaryngology care, with an expertise in sinonasal and skull base disorders. He specializes in using minimally invasive endoscopic techniques for the treatment of nasal obstruction, smell disorders, allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, facial pain, acute and chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, and benign and malignant tumors of the sinonasal cavities, among others. In addition, he works closely with a multidisciplinary team including his Neurosurgery colleagues to perform endoscopic endonasal surgeries that address benign and malignant skull base disorders in a way that maximizes preservation of function and quality of life.
