Transforming Allergy Management from Control to Cure in Ghaziabad
For many in the Delhi-NCR region, allergies are not just a seasonal nuisance—they are a daily struggle. Whether it is the persistent sneezing of Allergic Rhinitis or the chest tightness of Allergic Asthma, traditional medications often provide only a temporary “band-aid” fix.
At the clinic of Dr. Raina Rathore, we offer a more definitive solution: Allergy Immunotherapy. This treatment is the only medical intervention that alters the natural course of allergic diseases.
Understanding the "Allergy-Immune" Connection
An allergy occurs when your immune system misidentifies a harmless substance (like pollen or dust) as a dangerous invader. This triggers a cascade of inflammation in your ears, nose, and throat.
Allergy Immunotherapy works by introducing minute, controlled amounts of these allergens into your system. This gradual exposure shifts your immune response from “attack mode” to “tolerance mode.
Why Choose Immunotherapy?
- Unlike antihistamines or steroid sprays, immunotherapy offers long-term benefits that persist even after the treatment is completed.
- Prevents New Allergies: It stops the "Allergic March," preventing children with rhinitis from developing asthma.
- Reduces Medication Dependency: Most patients see a 70–80% reduction in their need for daily medicines.
- Long-term Remission: Provides years of relief after the treatment cycle (usually 3–5 years) is finished.
Modern Immunotherapy Options in Ghaziabad
SLIT (Sublingual Immunotherapy) – The Needle-Free Choice
We use high-quality Allergy Drops or Tablets placed under the tongue. This is the preferred method for children and those with busy schedules, as it can be administered safely at home.
SCIT (Subcutaneous Immunotherapy) – The Gold Standard
Often called Allergy Shots, these are administered in a clinical setting. This method is highly effective for patients with multiple sensitivities, such as dust mites, molds, and various pollens.
The Clinical Process: Science-Backed Diagnostics
A successful immunotherapy journey begins with an accurate diagnosis. Dr. Raina utilizes her extensive experience from St. Stephen’s Hospital and North Bengal Medical College to ensure precision:
Comprehensive Evaluation
Mapping your symptoms against Delhi/NCR-specific environmental and lifestyle allergy triggers for accurate clinical insight.
Skin Prick Testing (SPT)
The proven gold-standard allergy test used to identify the precise protein responsible for triggering your reaction.
Personalized Vaccine Formulation
Your immunotherapy vaccine is carefully custom-mixed to match your unique biological profile and allergy pattern.
Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustment
Your treatment progress is regularly reviewed and fine-tuned over time to ensure long-term effectiveness and safety.
Patient Education: Is it right for you?
- Immunotherapy is highly recommended for patients who:
- Have symptoms lasting more than 3 months a year
- Find that medications are no longer effective or cause unwanted side effects (like drowsiness).
- Want to prevent the progression of respiratory allergies into chronic asthma

FAQs
How is an allergy different from a common cold?
A cold usually resolves in 7–10 days and may involve a fever. Allergies persist as long as you are exposed to the trigger. Key signs of allergy include “paroxysmal” (sudden) sneezing, itchy eyes, and a clear, watery nasal discharge.
What is Immunotherapy, and is it a permanent cure?
Immunotherapy is often referred to as an “Allergy Vaccine.” While not everyone achieves a 100% permanent cure, the vast majority of patients experience a significant reduction in symptoms and a decreased need for daily medications for several years.
Is Immunotherapy safe for children?
Yes, immunotherapy is very safe for children and is often recommended because it can prevent the progression of allergic rhinitis into Asthma.
How long does the treatment take?
While you may start feeling better within a few months, a full course of immunotherapy typically lasts 3 to 5 years to ensure the immune system is properly “re-trained.”
Can Ghaziabad’s pollution be treated with immunotherapy?
While we cannot vaccinate against “smoke” or “chemical pollutants,” pollution often irritates an already allergic nose. By treating your underlying biological allergies (like dust mites), your nose becomes much more resilient to the irritating effects of pollution.
