Pediatrics | Pediatric Allergy/Immunology Questions Allergy Shots

Are allergy shots safe?

My son is 8 years old and he has an allergy to tomatoes where he breaks out in hives. His reaction doesn't happen all the time though. Should we try allergy shots?

Yes allergy shots are available for some allergies but there are no allergy shots for food allergies - I would advise to see an allergist for full evaluation and suggestions on how to manage your son's symptoms.
