Any Permanent Solution For Getting Relief From Allergic Reaction To Pollen And Dust Mites?
Hi I have been tested for allergies and have been told that I showed an allergic reaction to pollen and dust mites. I suffer bad with allergies and have tried lots of medicines including recently a steroid injection . I do not get much relief at all from antihistamines ( regardless if prescribed or non prescribed kinds). I also take nasal sprays and eyedrops. I am fed up suffering with this and would like to know if there are any permanent solutions?

Hello Sharon,
Steroid injections do offer short-term relief from allergies but are NOT recommended due to various side effects including loss of tissue due to necrosis (around injection site) that is permanent.
Sublingual or injection immunotherapy over 3 years is the answer.
