Desensitisation therapy for allergies in children: part 1
Desensitisation, or immunotherapy, is a treatment for allergies where individuals are exposed to increasing amounts of the allergen to reduce immune reactivity. It aims to lessen allergy symptoms and decrease medication dependence. This method is effective for allergies like hay fever, allergic asthma, and insect venom reactions. Distinguished consultant paediatrician Professor Nick Makwana explains how it can be used to enhance the quality of life for children and their families.
