Allergy Immunotherapy

Long-Term Allergy Relief Through Shots or Drops

Tired of managing allergy symptoms with daily medications? Allergy immunotherapy at ENT Sinus Center of Orlando offers a lasting solution by treating the root cause of your allergies — not just the symptoms.

  • Allergy immunotherapy is a treatment that trains your immune system to become less sensitive to specific allergens over time. By exposing your body to small, controlled doses of the allergens that trigger your symptoms, you can reduce — or even eliminate — allergic reactions.
    There are two main types:● Allergy shots (subcutaneous immunotherapy)● Allergy drops (sublingual immunotherapy)

  • Immunotherapy builds tolerance to allergens gradually through repeated exposure:● Buildup Phase: Frequent dosing (usually weekly) for several months to slowly increase the dose.● Maintenance Phase: Once the effective dose is reached, treatment continues at longer intervals (monthly for shots, daily for drops).
    Over time, your allergic responses decrease — meaning fewer symptoms and less reliance on medications.

  • ● Administered by injection, usually in the upper arm● Effective for treating allergies to pollen, dust mites, mold, and pet dander● Typically requires office visits weekly during the buildup phase, then monthly during maintenance● Best for patients with moderate to severe allergies or asthma

  • ● Liquid drops placed under the tongue daily at home● Alternative for patients who prefer avoiding injections● Particularly useful for children or those with needle anxiety● Currently FDA-approved for certain allergens; others are considered off-label but commonly prescribed

  • ● Seasonal allergies (pollen, grass, ragweed)● Year-round (perennial) allergies (dust mites, mold, pet dander)● Asthma symptoms triggered by allergens

  • ● Long-term symptom relief● Reduced need for daily allergy medications● Decreased risk of developing asthma (especially in children)● Improved quality of life during allergy seasons

  • You may be a good candidate if:● Your allergies are severe or persistent● Medications aren’t controlling your symptoms● You prefer a long-term solution over daily management
    Our ENT and allergy specialists can evaluate your testing results and recommend the best immunotherapy option for you.
