What The Medical Speciality That Deals With Disease From Mold Exposure?

I am asking for my sister who has been struggling to breathe for the past year, she is a none smoker but was exposed to mold about a year or two ago in a flood area. I do not know what type of doctor to look for that could help us with this problem. we have seen allergy doctors and the treatment is not working any suggestions? I am wondering about legionnaire s disease because recently I heard of an outbreak in Birmingham Al close to where we live.

Hello,
Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that infectious diseases specialist or general physician would help you better on the matter. You can take the treatment of chlorpheniramine maleate for allergy purpose, which some how give relaxation in breathing. Also avoid dust and others to avoid the further increase in breathing problem.
I will be happy to answer your further concern
