Do you Suffer from Allergies?Sneezing is not always the symptom of a cold. Sometimes, it is an allergic reaction to something in the air. Health experts estimate that 35 million Americans suffer from upper respiratory tract symptoms that are allergic reactions to airborne allergens. Pollen allergy, commonly called hay fever, is one of the most common chronic diseases in the United States. Worldwide, airborne allergens cause the most problems for people with allergies. The respiratory symptoms of asthma, which affect approximately 11 million Americans, are often provoked by airborne allergens. |

So what is the answer? Immunotherapy!
Immunotherapy is the medical term for a treatment for asthma commonly known as “allergy shots.” It can help reduce asthma symptoms and the need for medications in people who are allergic to airborne allergens, such as pollen, pet dander, and dust mites. It is a way of making your body less sensitive to your allergic asthma triggers by exposing you to very small amounts of them over time. This is also known as desensitization. Immunotherapy can be used both to treat allergies as well as to prevent them in certain high risk infants and children.
