Treatment Options

At Kennedy Health, we offer comprehensive allergy care and treatment options:

Allergen Avoidance

Identifying and avoiding allergens is an essential part of managing allergies. Our medical professionals can help you identify triggers and provide guidance on environmental control measures and dietary modifications.


Medication Management

We may prescribe medications such as antihistamines, nasal sprays, eye drops, or corticosteroids to relieve symptoms and manage allergic reactions.


Immunotherapy

Allergen immunotherapy, commonly known as allergy shots, can help desensitize the immune system and reduce the severity of allergic reactions over time.


Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT)

SLIT involves placing small amounts of allergens under the tongue to build tolerance and reduce allergic symptoms.


Emergency Medications

For individuals with severe allergies, we can provide emergency medications, such as epinephrine auto-injectors, to manage life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis).
