I have just been told my 15 yr old daughter needs allergy shots. she suffers from asthma, allergic rynitis, atopic dermatitis, and a sheet load of allergies, mostly enviromental, both indoors and out. She has had sinus surgery, been on steroid nasal sprays, many different types of allergy medicines, none of which seemed to work. Bendryl helps put makes her extremly sleepy which doesn't work well with school. Do allergy shots work? Because she has atopic dermatis will they also work or will she be prone to reactions from the shots? Her IGE level is triple what normal is. Nothing else works but I don't want to make her condition worse, if thats possible. She has chronic nasal congestion-runny nose, itchy eyes, rash break outs(atopic derm), post nasal drip, headaches, etc. The nasal congestion is the worse. Her nose is constanly inflamed and red. I'm not sure what to do. Shots or no shots? Anyone out there that has possitive or neg. answers pleas help. thanks
