Question

People who have severe allergies may need to have a treatment called ____________________ which involves either having injections (shots) that are given regularly and over an extended period of time, or it can be taking a pill that is placed under the tongue until it dissolves (which is called sublingual).

Answer 1

The answer is: Allergen immunotherapy

Step-by-step explanation:

Allergen immunotherapy, or desensitization, is a medical treatment that is used in the prevention of serious medical conditions such as asthma and environmental allergies.

In this treatment, the patient is exposed to large amounts of the allergens via shots (injections) or sublingual immunotherapy (allergy tablets), which ultimately changes the response of the immune system and thus leads to the prevention of the disease.

Answer 2

Allergy shots or Antihistamine

Step-by-step explanation:

Allergy or Hypersensitivity tablets are a type of Sublingual Immuno-Therapy (SLIT).

They offer an approach to treat certain sensitivities not using shots. The tablets are set under the tongue for one or two minutes and after that gulped as they break up. The procedure is rehashed from three days per week to as frequently as day by day.
