Could help: 85% of people get 85% better with allergy shots. Your time and money are big players when it comes to immunotherapy, so take that into consideration. If you are having runny/itchy eyes & nose with sneezing that are not responding well to antihistamines and nose sprays, then it may be time again for shot therapy.

My daughter had been through two different rounds of oral antibiotics for an inner ear infection, as well as drops on top of the last oral medication and she is still saying her ear hurts. I am not excited about a third round of antibiotics. We did the walk in clinic twice, now I am not sure if I should take her to her primary doctor or to a specialist and if I need a referral or not for her? She has seasonal allergies that are in full swing now also. 7 year old Daughters Left?
