What is the treatment for allergies?

While there is not yet a cure, there are treatments and methods available to control and manage allergic disease. This may include minimising exposure to allergens, managing symptoms with medications, and/or allergen immunotherapy (desensitisation).

Once the allergy triggers are identified, an appropriate treatment plan can be provided. You may be referred to an immunologist who specialises in the diagnosis and management of allergic and immunological disorders. A current list of specialists can be found on the website of The Australasian Society of ClinicalImmunology and Allergy (ASCIA).
