A member asked:

When is it a good idea to do immunotherapy injections?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Any time: Generally, immunotherapy is indicated for folks with allergies that are poorly controlled by conventional medications or for those with significant complications from their allergies like sinusitis and asthma. It's also a great choice for people who don't want to be on lots of long term medications.
