Severe Allergic Reactions

In a monumental step forward for allergy treatment, the FDA has approved neffy, the first-ever nasal spray for the emergency treatment of anaphylaxis. This needle-free alternative offers a life-saving option for those with severe allergies, particularly benefiting individuals who may delay treatment due to a fear of injections.

Living with nut allergies can be challenging, especially for children who have experienced severe reactions in the past. While strict avoidance of allergens is crucial, new therapies are emerging to help desensitize patients and improve their quality of life. One such approach is Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT), which has shown promise as a safer alternative to traditional Oral Immunotherapy (OIT). A recent study found SLIT to be a safe and effective option for older children with a history of moderate to severe reactions, offering a path to desensitization without the intensive demands of OIT.
