Immunotherapy usually involves either allergen extracts given to the patients by typical allergic shots or sublingually (drops under the tongue). If you choose to take injections, its a regime of at least 15 weeks of weekly shots, followed by 3 years of monthly injections. However, if you choose sublingual therapy, its just 1 shot every 6-12 months! However, do note that they both have its own pros and cons. PS: Check out the link I used below for more information.
