If you're tired of dealing with allergy symptoms year-round, immunotherapy can help retrain your immune system to stop overreacting to allergens. But which option is better—allergy drops (sublingual immunotherapy) or allergy shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy)?
At Sleep & Sinus Centers of Georgia, we specialize in both allergy drops and allergy shots, helping patients find long-term relief. Let’s break down the key differences so you can make the best choice for your lifestyle.
A Quick Overview of Allergies
What Causes Allergies?
Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to harmless substances like pollen or pet dander, triggering sneezing, congestion,itchy eyes, and more. Medications provide temporary relief, but they don’t address the root cause.
How Immunotherapy Works
Immunotherapy trains your immune system to stop reacting to allergens by gradually exposing it to small doses. Over time, this reduces or eliminates allergic reactions.
