ARE ALLERGY SHOTS THE ANSWER?

There are plenty of over-the-counter and prescription medications available for treating allergies. Each person reacts differently to both allergens and allergy treatments, so it’s important to work with your doctor to create the best treatment plan. Allergy testing can diagnose your specific allergies so they can be targeted in your treatment plan. Allergy shots are a form of immunotherapy that can reduce—and in some cases eliminate—reactions to environmental allergens. Allergy shots reduce allergy symptoms over time by exposing your immune system to small amounts of the problem allergens, much like a vaccine. Many people respond better to allergy shots than medications and can find long-term management and relief, sometimes with just one or two courses of shots.

P.S. Vitamin C is a natural antihistamine that can help reduce allergy symptoms.
