Allergy treatment may be administered with the following at Cure Allergy Clinic:
- Allergy Shots – We use shots to help to build up your immunity. You can think of allergy shots like a vaccine that triggers your body’s immune response to fight allergies naturally. By lowering your sensitivity to allergens, shots often lead to lasting relief from symptoms even after you stop treatment.
- Sublingual Drops – Sublingual drops are a form of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) in which you place allergy drops under your tongue. We offer it as a program to either reintroduce food safely back into your diet or reduce the risk of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition. As soon as we identify the source of your allergies, we’ll prepare an allergy extract in a drop form.
