At West Houston ENT and Sleep Center, we do in-office testing to immediately diagnose the source of your allergies. We then use this information to create a customized immunotherapy prescription to cure your inhalant allergies. Understanding your allergy medications is paramount to the successful treatment of your symptoms. This is why Dr. Ludwick takes the time to thoroughly explain how each of the medications work, why it was chosen and how to properly use it.
Shotless Immunotherapy
Unlike allergy medications which only cover up your allergy symptoms, Immunotherapy cures your inhalant allergies. Unfortunately, until recent years immunotherapy had to be delivered using weekly injections. The shots work to desensitize your immune system to your allergen triggers.
At West Houston ENT and Sleep Center, we use Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) to cureyour nasal allergy symptoms – NO MORE INJECTIONS! SLIT works the same way as shots, training your immune system to ignore the allergens it is currently reacting towards. This includes seasonal and year-round allergy sufferers. SLIT therapyhas been used for decades in Europe to treat inhalant allergies and has gained wide acceptance in the U.S.
- Daily drops of serum are placed under the tongue at home – no more daily or weekly trips to the doctor’s office for allergy shots
- The treatment lessens allergy symptoms and decreases medication use
- It’s safer than allergy shots, and eliminates the risk of life-threatening anaphylactic reactions
