Yes and no.
Allergy shots are a long-term committment. I have been on them for over 10 years (but I also have significant allergies). It takes at least 1-2 years to get up to a strong enough dose to notice the difference.
See an allergist to find out if you even qualify for them; there are several prerequisites for allergy shots; not just anyone can get them. If you have never been allergy tested then you need to start there.

They are effective, but they do not provide quick relief. For instance, right now I have no hayfever and have not needed an antihistamine in months. Years ago during this time of year, I would be housebound because of severe hayfever. I had desensitation shots. It was two years before I noticed any relief and three more years before I had complete relief of symptoms. My entire series of shots lasted nine years. It has been over five years since I discontinued the shots and I still have the benefits. Yes, it was definitely worth it.

Yes, but it can take a long time--six months to a couple of years depending on the allergy. If it troubles you enough it may be worth the long term committment. Most people who go for the shots have severe and/or multiple allergies. You need to see an allergist/immunologist and get tested if you have not done so already.

I nevertheless take take an antihistamine alongside with a on a daily basis allergies medicine. particularly frankly, i'm very fed up in all of it, yet I do be conscious some progression because of the fact i've got been getting photographs. so some distance as coverage is going, you certainly ought to ascertain with yours as all are diverse.
