Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy are allergy shots, injected by a doctor. Allergy shots are for patients that don't respond to medications. Exposure to the allergen in small doses, usually once a week shots, will make people less sensitive. Shots are used for allergens like dust, pollen, and mold. Immunotherapy can reduce symptoms of asthma.
