Remedies for allergy disease suffering from five years?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many: If you have been suffering so long and medications do not provide you with adequate relief, you may want to consider allergen desensitization. See a board certified allergist and discuss your options.

Desensitization: In desensitization the allergist injects the person with very small amounts of the allergen (“allergy shots”) regularly over a period of three to five years. Relief is generally apparent in about a year. Approximately 80 percent of people who have seasonal allergies respond to desensitization.
