ABOUT THE CLINIC
Dr. Ted Benke founded Benke ENT Clinic in 2000.

WINTER
Mountain Cedar season is upon us.
This tree releases its pollen from early December to late February and wreaks havoc on your mucus membranes including eyes, nose, throat and lungs. When it’s cold outside, the pollen can be less active. However, when we have these occasional warm days with a south wind, watch out!
We recommend starting your nasal steroid spray, allergy eye drops and antihistamine in late November just to be ready. You may benefit from a seasonal steroid injection.
Call us today for a Kenalog injection!
SPRING
Spring blooms bring allergies’ doom!
Tree pollen counts are usually quite high in North Texas during the spring. Don’t miss out on the perfect temperatures and beautiful blooms because your sinuses are inflamed. Give us a call!
SUMMER
Summertime is all fun and games until someone gets swimmer’s ear.
Affecting the outer ear, swimmer’s ear is a painful condition resulting from inflammation, irritation, or infection. These symptoms often occur after water gets trapped in your ear, with subsequent spread of bacteria or fungal organisms.
In order to prevent swimmer’s ear, keep ears free of moisture during swimming or bathing. Using ear plugs while swimming and drying your ears off with a towel will decrease your risks of infection.
AUTUMN
Autumn weather in Texas is usually unpredictable…
though your allergies don’t have to be! This season, ragweed pollen is usually the worst defender, but mold, and indoor allergies can also be triggers. Allergy injections (allergy shots) are a great way to treat fall allergens by building up your immune system’s tolerance. There are additional factors to consider as well, like cross-reactive foods. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Benke to find out more ways than one to conquer your pesky allergies and let your body’s immune system relax. You owe it to yourself to get to enjoy the cooler temps outside this fall!
