Navigating Allergy Season: Treatment and Prevention Tips

TL;DR Summary
Exposure therapy in the form of allergy shots or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) can help allergy sufferers build tolerance to specific allergens over time. SLIT involves taking personalized liquid drops or dissolvable tablets under the tongue daily. While SLIT is not FDA-approved and not covered by insurance, it offers convenience and flexibility for patients. Allergy shots are another option, but require weekly visits to the doctor's office. Both treatments have been shown to provide long-term improvement for allergy symptoms.
