Understanding your allergy
An allergy specialist can help you control your triggers so you stop having attacks or symptoms.
Not everyone can avoid their triggers, but if you can, it is the best treatment.
Avoiding them is not always possible. Avoiding triggers can be difficult, time-consuming and expensive. In addition, you may run the risk of having a severe reaction or getting sick from being exposed to your trigger.
Allergies and asthma
An allergist can help treat asthma. He or she can also treat other respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), allergic rhinitis and sinusitis.
He can help you manage your asthma medications and recommend lifestyle changes that will improve your symptoms and overall quality of life.

Treatment with Immunotherapy
Allergy vaccines
Allergy shots are an injectable form of allergy immunotherapy. The shots contain small amounts of the allergens that trigger your allergies. While allergy shots effectively treat allergies, they can be inconvenient and uncomfortable because they require frequent shots at the doctor’s office. Allergy shots also have the risk of causing serious side effects such as anaphylaxis.
Sublingual immunotherapy with allergy drops
Sublingual immunotherapy is a form of allergy immunotherapy that can be taken under the tongue or by mouth. There are two types of sublingual immunotherapy: allergy drops and allergy tablets. Allergy drops are a popular choice because they can treat multiple allergies at once, while allergy tablets can only treat one allergy at a time. Unlike allergy shots, they do not require the use of painful needles or frequent visits to the doctor’s office.
