I have a niece and a nephew (they are siblings) that went through a regimen like

this. It was definitely taxing, but neither of them regret it. They are now both in high school and are much better off than they were before.

They both had pretty severe allergies, and they had them as toddlers. They didn’t develop allergies as late as your son has.

Take that for what it’s worth.

They can do oral drops, also. Insurance doesn’t pay for the drops.

Was it while you were a teen? Do you flare up after the shots a bit?

No, I’ve always had allergies but maybe 5 years ago they got really bad.

Not yet. Claritin and Allegra weren’t super helpful. Zyrtec does pretty good.

Unfortunately it’s a prescription, but it can be used in conjunction with Zyrtec

Also Flonase (fluticasone) are definitely worth a try too, it’s OTC.
