My child is having allergic rhinitis and is under treatment. Is there any hope to get rid of his/ her allergy?

If you have hay fever, allergy to house dust, mites or animals, immunotherapy can be used to weaken your body’s response to the substance causing allergy. This treatment allows the immune system to get used to the allergen, that can relieve symptoms. Those treatments are safe and are the only hope for allergic patients to overcome their allergies.1
