Our son is very allergic to peanuts and less so to cashew, and sesame. We went through oral immunotherapy and it's been absolutely life changing. He used to need an epi pen in case of chance encounter, but now he eats 2 whole peanut m&ms every day to keep his dosage up. It's been difficult finding an allergist in Germany that's willing to accept this and move forward Obviously everyone's mileage will vary, but I'm ha…
Is this effective and available for milder chronic hayfever and runny,partially blocked nose, generally speaking?
I visited my local allergist for this (in the USA). Basically the treatments available to me were either shots or eyedrops. The shots required visiting the office almost daily, then weekly, then less frequently. The eyedrops can be self administered. I was told both treatment options are not permanent and need to be basically done in perpetuity. The cost was a couple thousand dollars per year (basically no insurance coverage).
Seems like the treatment options are evolving pretty rapidly and these options aren't available everywhere. Or this is what I was told.
