We need to do skin prick test to find the specific allergy. And start on immunotherapy. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is a needle-free allergy treatment where liquid drops containing tiny amounts of an allergen are placed under the tongue. Over time, this daily exposure trains the immune system to build a tolerance and reduces allergic reactions.
Next Steps
Consult with ENT specialist for further opinion
