The official website explains initial therapy for hay fever, demonstrating that starting medication approximately two weeks before pollen dispersal delays symptom onset and reduces symptoms during the season. Regarding ear cleaning, professional procedures using a microscope allow thorough cleaning deep within the ear canal without damaging the external auditory canal, while examination of the eardrum and ear canal enables early detection of otitis media and otitis externa. Impacted earwax (cerumen impaction) can be safely softened and removed using specialized medications, with clinic visits recommended approximately every few months. The clinic also provides information on pollen-food allergy syndrome involving Japanese cedar pollen and tomatoes, as well as the effects of vitamin C and polyphenols.
