Who should be treated with immunotherapy?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
People w/ allergies: Immunotherapy is only recommended for allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis, and stinging insect allergy. Immunotherapy for food allergies is not recommended. The best option for people with food allergies is to strictly avoid that food.

Immunotherapy: Anyone who is found to be allergic to the pollens of the region they live. Initial therapy is usually medication management but if the patient fails or is still symptomatic, immunotherapy should be strongly considered. Remember, only 18% of people who start will ever complete therapy.
