Allergies We Treat in New Milford:

Allergies develop when the immune system overreacts to typically harmless substances. Symptoms can vary from mild irritation to severe health issues. Here are some of the most common allergies we assist patients in managing:

Environmental Allergies

Environmental allergens, from seasonal pollen and grass to indoor mold and fungi, are a leading source of allergy symptoms. At our New Milford clinic, we provide targeted treatments to help alleviate symptoms and improve daily well-being.

Food Allergies

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 4–6% of children develop food allergies, with reactions ranging from mild to severe. In some cases, food allergens can cause anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition that impacts breathing and blood pressure. Our New Milford allergy specialists offer emergency prescriptions like epinephrine auto-injectors and customized long-term care plans.

Pet Allergies

Pet allergies affect about 30% of the U.S. population and are often triggered by proteins found in animal dander, saliva, or urine. If your pets are causing allergic reactions, our team can help identify the allergens and develop an effective treatment plan to manage your symptoms.

Common Allergy Symptoms

Mild Symptoms	Moderate Symptoms	Severe Symptoms*
Sneezing Stuffy Runny Nose Watery Eyes Stomach Pain Slight, dry cough Odd taste in mouth	Coughing Headache Diarrhea Nausea Facial pain from nasal congestion Watery, red, itchy eyes Skin rash or hives reddish, swollen, itchy areas on the skin Eczema persistent dry, itchy rash	Trouble swallowing Turning blue Drop in blood pressure feeling faint, confused, weak, or passing out Chest pain Obstructive swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat Chest tightness, shortness of breath and wheezing Vomiting

How Allergy Shots Work

Allergen immunotherapy, widely known as allergy shots, is a highly effective treatment for a variety of allergies. This long-term therapy is suitable for individuals over five and is especially beneficial for those with allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, or conjunctivitis. Beyond symptom relief, immunotherapy may also help prevent the onset of new allergies.

Phases of Allergy Shot Treatments
Build-Up Phase	Injections are initially given in increasing amounts of allergens over time. Typically performed 3 to 4 times per week. This stage lasts roughly 8 months, though individual response and tolerance may affect the duration.
Maintenance Phase	Starts once the effective dose is identified based on your sensitivity level. Injections are then reduced to twice a week, spaced at least 3 days apart. The maintenance phase usually extends for about 4 months.

Patients often experience a gradual reduction in symptoms throughout treatment. Once maintenance is complete, our specialists conduct a yearly evaluation to determine if additional injections are required.

Any adjustments to your treatment plan, including the possibility of stopping allergy shots, will be thoroughly discussed with your allergist.

Are Allergy Shots Effective?
