Allergy Drop Treatments!
Hello and Happy Friday!
Kurtis Waters, MD PA announces a new allergy treatment in the Baxter, MN clinic! Allergy Drops Treatment, also known as sublingual immunotherapy, work like allergy shots as they introduce allergens into your system to help you build a tolerance to your allergies. The therapy is delivered in liquid drops under the tongue and can be administered from home. Allergy drops can safely and effectively treat a broad range of allergies, including pollens, dander and other environmental allergies, as well as foods, molds and chemical sensitivities.
The Four Step Process
1 - Evaluation & Testing
2 - Your Treatment Plan
3 - Receive your allergy drops
4 - Time & Consistency
In the next four blogs we will dissect each step in the allergy drop process. Please contact our clinic, 218-454-8888, for a consultation with Katie Starns, NP to determine if you are a candidate for Allergy Drops.
Thank You,
Dr Waters

What are the treatment options for chronic sinus problems?
For
patients who continue to have chronic sinusitis (infection within the sinus
cavities) as demonstrated on CT scan, despite 4-5 weeks of maximum medical
therapy, surgical options can be considered.
These surgical options include endoscopic sinus surgery or balloon
sinuplasty.
- With endoscopic sinus surgery, instruments inserted through the nose, are used to remove the pieces of tissue or bone that are blocking the sinus openings preventing them to drain properly.
- With balloon sinuplasty—it is much like an angioplasty for the heart. A catheter is inserted into the nose and guided into the affected sinus opening. A balloon is then inflated which expands the sinus opening allowing it to drain properly.
Call to schedule a consultation 218-454-8888.
Have a great day!

Why are tonsils removed?
We have
many lymph nodes within our body, and the tonsils are essentially lymph nodes
that we can see. There are two reasons
we would consider removing the tonsils: (1) recurring infection related reasons
(tonsillitis) and (2) for obstructive symptoms.
- If an individual is having 4-6 (or more) documented cases of tonsillitis, requiring antibiotics, within a 12 month time frame they would be considered candidates for removal. We are talking about true tonsillitis—red, swollen tonsils that are often covered in white spots (exudate), and not the sore throat that comes along with the common cold.
- If individuals have obstructive related symptoms, which can include snoring WITH apnea spells, difficulty swallowing, and chronic mouth breathing, they too could be considered candidates for removal.
- Also, individuals who deal with recurrent “tonsil stone” formation are candidates for tonsillectomy. These tonsil stones are otherwise known as tonsilliths or cryptolyths, and are NOT usually associated with throat pain, fevers, nor do they resolve with antibiotics.

I always seem to have phlegm in my throat and the feeling like there is a lump in my throat...what could this be?
Your symptoms could be the result of extra esophageal
or laryngeal reflux. This is also
commonly known as “throat reflux.”
Throat reflux is not like the acid reflux which causes traditional
“heartburn” (otherwise known as GERD).
Throat reflux involves your stomach acid coming up high enough into the
esophagus that it essentially spills over into the larynx—where your vocal
cords are located (the “voice box”).
Symptoms of throat reflux include any/all of the following:
Call if you have additional questions or to schedule a consultation. 218-454-8888.
Have a great day!

Are there any options to manage chronic ear infections besides having tubes put in the ears?
Yes, there are other options than ear tube placement. That option is daily
antibiotic prophylaxis.
- This is a low-dose antibiotic that would be taken on a daily basis for 1-3 months.
- The goal of this option is to decrease the bacterial counts that are within the oropharynx cavity (mouth/throat area) where the eustachian tubes openings are located.
Call for a consultation 218-454-8888.
