ENT Immunotherapy for Allergic Rhinitis

Overview

ENT Immunotherapy is a scientifically proven treatment that gradually reduces the immune system’s sensitivity to allergens. Unlike temporary symptom relief from antihistamines or nasal sprays, immunotherapy provides long-term benefits by training the immune system to tolerate allergens over time.

Medical Uses

Immunotherapy is highly effective for patients suffering from:

• Allergic Rhinitis (hay fever) triggered by pollen, dust mites, mold, or pet dander.
• Seasonal and Perennial Allergies causing nasal congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes.
• Asthma symptoms aggravated by airborne allergens.
• Chronic Sinusitis linked to allergic inflammation.
• Frequent ear infections or Eustachian tube dysfunction due to allergic swelling.

Diagnosis & Treatment Process

Our ENT specialists follow a structured approach to immunotherapy treatment:

• Allergy Testing – Skin prick or blood tests to identify specific allergens.
• Personalized Treatment Plan – A tailored immunotherapy regimen based on test results and allergy severity.
• Desensitization Phase – Gradual exposure to small doses of allergens through injections (SCIT) or sublingual drops/tablets (SLIT).
• Maintenance Phase – Long-term immunotherapy to build immune tolerance and prevent allergic reactions.
• Symptom Monitoring – Regular follow-ups to adjust treatment and track progress.

Treatment Options

Depending on the patient’s needs, we offer the following types of ENT immunotherapy:

• **Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT)** – Also known as allergy shots, administered in increasing doses to build tolerance over time.
• **Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT)** – Allergy drops or tablets placed under the tongue for a non-invasive alternative to injections.
• **Combination Therapy** – Immunotherapy combined with antihistamines or nasal sprays for enhanced symptom control.
• **Allergy Prevention Strategies** – Environmental modifications and lifestyle guidance to minimize allergen exposure.

Pre- & Post-Treatment Considerations

Before starting immunotherapy, patients undergo a detailed consultation to assess suitability. Post-treatment, gradual symptom relief occurs over months, with most patients achieving long-term improvement after 3-5 years of therapy.
