Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT)

An alternative to allergy shots that uses allergy drops under the tongue to help reduce long-term allergic sensitivity.

How Allergies Contribute to Chronic Nasal Symptoms

In South Florida, environmental allergens such as pollen, mold, and dust mites can trigger persistent nasal inflammation. For some individuals, symptoms last most of the year rather than just seasonally.

Chronic allergic inflammation may cause nasal congestion, sneezing, post-nasal drip, sinus pressure, and disrupted sleep. When medications provide only temporary relief, long-term immune-based therapy may be considered.

Sublingual immunotherapy is one option designed to gradually reduce allergic sensitivity.

What Is Sublingual Immunotherapy & How It Works

Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is a form of allergy treatment that delivers small, controlled amounts of allergens under the tongue.

The treatment:

Uses customized allergy drops based on testing results
Is taken at home after initial evaluation
Gradually exposes the immune system to specific triggers
Aims to reduce allergic sensitivity over time
May serve as an alternative to allergy shots for selected patients

SLIT works by modifying the immune response rather than simply masking symptoms.
