Hi, my child is sensitive to pollen of grass and has rhinitis every spring. I believe that allergy shots would help her, but how much would it cost?

Allergen immunotherapy is based on injecting increasing amounts of an allergen to a patient over several months. It is done to prevent the development of allergy, like from allergic rhinitis to asthma. Allergen immunotherapy is the only method providing long-lasting relief of allergy symptoms after treatment is stopped. Your child can be treated with this method, in case of food allergies however, only solution is to avoid sensitizing food. Costs of therapy are not small, and depend on region and insurance coverage, as well as severity of symptoms and length of therapy.
