Can happen: in the build up phase of allergy shots (the immunotherapy),also depends on the make-up of the allergens used in the mixture of the shot, whether were the shots started pre-seasonal (before the pollen season she is allergic to) or co-seasonal, hence she would have increased symptoms. Any of these symptoms should be communicated to the allergist on every shot day for adjustments to be made,goodluck
