Do allergy shots help asthma?

Dealing with persistent asthma and allergies for years, my current medications only offer limited relief. My cousin mentioned that allergy shots might help. Can taking allergy shots actually improve asthma symptoms or prevent attacks?

My son had severe asthma during his college days and allergy shots actually made a huge difference for him. It took almost a year to show proper results, but his frequent attacks reduced so much. Just have patience because these treatments take time to build immunity.

Beta, these modern treatments do help some people, but you must consult a good chest specialist first. Along with whatever doctor says, you can try having a spoonful of warm honey with a tiny pinch of ginger juice in the morning. It keeps the throat clear, but never stop your main inhalers or medicines for these home remedies.

Please do not go by what people say online about allergy treatments. Asthma is very subjective and depends on what triggers your attacks. Get a proper allergy panel test done at a certified lab and let a pulmonologist decide if shots will work for you.

Haan, my cousin took them last year and unko kafi relief mila allergy triggers se. Asthma severe ho toh options limited ho jaate hain na. You should definitely ask your doctor if you are eligible for this treatment.

Honestly, my dust allergy and wheezing make me feel like an old broken engine some days. I asked my doctor about these shots, and he said they help but it is a long commitment of multiple sitting. I am still gathering the energy to start the process, too many hospital visits!
