You must abide by the guidance of your allergist. Sometimes you may get more allergy symptoms after an allergy shot. Getting too strong a shot may cause this. Before your allergy shot is administered you must inform the allergist of any problematic symptoms you experienced after your last shot. A judgement may then be made as to whether your dose will be the same, lowered or increased.
