Allergy testing and immunotherapy are critical components in the effective management of allergic reactions. Allergy testing helps identify specific allergens that trigger symptoms, allowing for targeted treatment strategies. Once allergens are identified, immunotherapy, often referred to as allergy shots, can be administered. This treatment involves gradually increasing doses of the allergen, helping your immune system become less sensitive to it over time. This process can significantly reduce the severity of allergic reactions, enhance your quality of life, and in some cases, lead to long-term relief from allergies.
