Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is a type of allergy treatment that involves placing allergen extracts under the tongue. This therapy is used to help desensitize individuals who have allergies to certain substances, such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander.

During SLIT, a patient receives small doses of the allergen extract under their tongue daily or several times a week, depending on the treatment plan prescribed by their doctor. Over time, the body builds up a tolerance to the allergen, reducing the severity of allergy symptoms.

SLIT is typically prescribed for individuals with allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, or allergic asthma. It has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms, improving quality of life, and reducing the need for medication in some individuals.

Like all medical treatments, SLIT has potential risks and side effects. Common side effects may include itching or swelling in the mouth, throat, or tongue, and these usually go away on their own without causing any serious harm. However, severe allergic reactions can occur, so patients undergoing SLIT should be closely monitored by a healthcare professional
