Allergy Shots

Allergy shots, also called "immunotherapy," are given to increase your tolerance to the substances (allergens) that provoke allergy symptoms. They usually are recommended for people who suffer from severe allergies or for those who have allergy symptoms more than 3 months each year. They do not cure allergies, but reduce your sensitivity to certain substances.

Allergy & Asthma

Allergy & Asthma are the most chronic childhood diseases. Asthma affects nearly five million American children while allergies affect about 50 million. Many children with asthma miss school, sports and other childhood activities.

It is important for family members to learn how to identify and avoid asthma and allergen triggers, recognize and prevent asthma attacks, understand medications and help manage symptoms.
