Would allergy shots eliminate my allergic reactions to cats? if so, for how many months or years?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cats: It is possible for allergy shots to reduce or at times eliminate allergic symptoms to cats but the immunotherapy but be done cautiously since cats are at times very allergenic.
