Pediatric Allergy Care with Sublingual Immunotherapy
We use sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) for a long-term allergy solution rather than relying on symptom relief alone. Also known as allergy drops, SLIT treatment involves placing liquid drops under the tongue to help the immune system react less to specific allergens. Over time, SLIT can desensitize the immune response to reduce the frequency and severity of symptoms.
At Elite Personalized Medicine we use SLIT for a range of childhood allergies, including seasonal allergies (such as tree, grass and weed pollens), environmental allergies (dust mites, mold and pet dander), and food allergies (such as milk, eggs and peanuts). As with our functional autism treatment, the goal is to tackle the underlying causes of symptoms to deliver long-term relief.
Why SLIT Is the Best Choice for Children
Allergy care is an ongoing commitment that works best when treatment fits into your family’s routine. Here’s why SLIT works so well as a pediatric allergy treatment.
- Convenience – An easy at-home plan families can follow.
- Lasting Change – Works on the immune response rather than masking symptoms.
- Lifestyle Friendly – Fits school and travel routines.
- Support – Clear dosing plan and regular checkups to keep progress on track.
How Our Pediatric Allergy Program Works
Before starting treatment, we provide comprehensive allergy testing to determine the precise allergen(s) triggering a reaction. Our testing process provides accurate diagnostic data that can determine whether your child has an allergy or a sensitivity.
We can then develop a custom SLIT formula that matches your child’s allergy. Allergy drops are created at a compounding pharmacy and shipped directly to your door. Administered daily under the tongue, these drops begin with a low dose and gradually increase to build immune system tolerance. HSAs and FSAs are accepted as payment options for testing, visits and prescribed SLIT.
Common Questions About Pediatric Allergy Services
Is sublingual immunotherapy safe for children?
When prescribed by experienced practitioners, sublingual immunotherapy is a safe treatment option for children. The allergy drops are administered with parental supervision, and any mild reactions, such as an itching sensation, typically resolve quickly.
How long does SLIT take to work for children?
Children usually notice SLIT starting to work around 3–6 months, though each individual can experience varying results. The total duration of the treatment is typically between 3–5 years as the immune system becomes desensitized to the allergen.
What are common signs of allergies in children?
Common signs of allergies in children include itchy or watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, a runny nose or nasal congestion, skin rashes and hives. Children experiencing allergy symptoms may also show signs of fatigue, irritability, sleep issues and a lack of focus.
