Allergies We Treat in Danbury:

Allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to typically harmless substances, causing anything from mild discomfort to severe reactions. Our specialists treat a variety of allergies, including:

Environmental Allergies

Environmental allergens, such as pollen, grass, mold, and fungi, are among the leading causes of allergy symptoms. Our Danbury allergy specialists offer personalized treatments to minimize your reactions and enhance your overall comfort.

Food Allergies

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 4–6% of children suffer from food allergies, which can vary from mild discomfort to severe reactions. In some cases, exposure to allergens can trigger anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening condition that affects breathing and blood pressure. Our Danbury allergists provide emergency interventions, such as epinephrine auto-injectors, and comprehensive long-term care strategies.

Pet Allergies

Roughly 30% of Americans experience pet allergies, often triggered by proteins found in animal dander, saliva, or urine. If your furry companions are causing allergy symptoms, our specialists can help pinpoint the triggers and develop an effective symptom management plan.

Treatment Options at Your Allergist in Danbury, CT

How Allergy Shots Work
Allergen immunotherapy, often called allergy shots, is one of the most effective treatments for various allergies. This long-term approach is ideal for individuals over five, particularly those with allergic rhinitis, asthma, or conjunctivitis (eye allergies). In addition to alleviating symptoms, immunotherapy may help prevent new allergies from developing.

Phases of Allergy Shot Treatments
Build-Up Phase	Administered injections with progressively increasing allergen doses. Typically given 3 to 4 times per week. This phase lasts around 8 months but can vary based on tolerance and response.
Maintenance Phase	Begins after establishing the appropriate dose according to individual sensitivity. Injections fall to twice weekly, with at least 3 days between doses. Maintenance usually continues for approximately 4 months.

During treatment, many patients experience a gradual decrease in symptoms. Once the maintenance phase is complete, our team conducts an annual evaluation to assess whether additional injections are needed.

Your allergist will thoroughly review any modifications to your treatment, including the possibility of stopping allergy shots.
