Does getting alergy test shots hurt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very little: If given properly and the dose is not excessive, even a 5 year-old child can tolerate it. In fact, it causes less pain and discomfort than the skin test. Many patients didn't realize that they already got the shots from a nurse who has been properly trained.
