Do allergy drops under the tongue actually work?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Often they do: The debate on allergy drops is still out. Some studies show they work, others show they are not that beneficial. They are often used by naturopaths. Mainstream medicine has yet to accept them for widespread use in allegic patients.

Yes: They are effective though possibly not quite as effective as allergy shots. Currently most insurance will pay for allergy shots but not drops.
