Allergen Immunotherapy (Allergy Shots)

Allergic rhinitis is a common respiratory disease whose symptoms include nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing and nasal itching. Currently, treatments for allergic rhinitis mainly include drug therapy and immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a treatment that gradually changes the body's immune system's response to allergens, thereby reducing or eliminating allergy symptoms. Among them, Allergen immunotherapy is a type of immunotherapy that has attracted much attention. Allergen immunotherapy, also known as allergic immunotherapy, injects allergens to stimulate the body's immune system to produce antibodies, thereby achieving the purpose of treating allergic rhinitis. This treatment is primarily targeted at individuals who have developed an immune response to allergens. By injecting allergens, the immune system develops the ability to recognize and attack the allergens, thereby reducing or eliminating allergy symptoms. The treatment process of Allergen immunotherapy is usually divided into several steps. First, the doctor will ask the patient about his or her allergy history to determine what his or her allergens are. Next, the doctor will inject the allergen into the patient and observe the patient's symptoms. After symptoms appear, your doctor will decide whether a second injection is needed based on the severity of the symptoms.

In addition, doctors will also observe the patient's response during treatment in order to adjust the treatment plan in a timely manner. The advantage of Allergen immunotherapy is that it can help patients reduce or eliminate allergic symptoms without having a major impact on the patient's daily life.

In addition, the treatment improves the patient's immunity and makes them resistant to future allergens. However, there are some risks with Allergen immunotherapy. During the injection of allergens, allergic reactions such as rash, hives, and difficulty breathing may occur.

In addition, this treatment needs to last for a long time and may cause side effects such as headache and fever.

In summary, Allergen immunotherapy is an effective treatment for allergic rhinitis. By injecting allergens to stimulate the body's immune system to produce antibodies, it can help patients reduce or eliminate allergic symptoms. However, this treatment method also carries some risks, and patients should consult their doctor when choosing a treatment option.
