Early treatment of allergies has been shown to relieve symptoms and prevent the development of other related conditions such as asthma. Besides allergy medications, your allergist may recommend that you receive allergy shots.

Allergy shots allow your immune system to change the way it responds to the allergens that make you sick. This means you will be better able to tolerate exposure to those allergens and exhibit minimal symptoms. When you get an allergy shot, you will actually receive the allergen that is making you sick. This is done in a way that strengthens your immune system so that you become “immune” to the allergen. Allergy shots have been found to be effective in the treatment of rhinitis and asthma. When started early in the disease process, allergy shots may help reduce the chance that a child will develop asthma later in life.
