Allergy drops use the very same custom antigen formulas used in allergy shots. Allergy drops are the perfect solution for children and busy adults who need ongoing immunotherapy to manage their allergen triggers and, ultimately, reduce symptoms.

Each day, the patient simply places the allergy drops under their tongue for pain-free, office-free allergy treatment. Just like with allergy shots, over time the dosage is increased to build the patient’s tolerance to allergens. Allergy drop treatment usually lasts three to five years and most patients achieve nearly complete desensitization to their allergens.

Dr. Rotskoff, Chicago’s Allergist has developed a specialized expertise in treating even the most challenging patients with chronic cough. For many people, a chronic cough leads to considerable suffering despite countless trips to the doctor and many failed treatment regimens. The reason for this is that most patients have up to three different causes contributing to their symptoms simultaneously.

Dr. Rotskoff has spent years researching treatments for chronic cough and is able to help even the most difficult to treat patients. Because a chronic cough can occasionally be associated with a more severe underlying medical disorder, all patients with a chronic cough should have their symptoms evaluated by a physician.

Migraine headaches affect up to 15% of the U.S. population and are a leading cause of disability and missed school or work. What many don’t realize is that allergies and migraines are strongly interconnected. In fact, patients with hay fever are up to 10 times more likely to develop migraine headaches than those who do not have allergies. The reason for this, in part, is the histamine connection. Histamine is a chemical released in the body that causes many of the symptoms most allergy sufferers experience- itching, sneezing, coughing, and itchy/watery eyes. So for many patients, the histamine released during an allergy attack may also affect their migraines.

Dr. Rotskoff has studied this connection between allergies and migraines extensively. He has successfully implemented natural treatment regimens that can help the majority of patients who have continued to suffer from migraine, sinus, and allergy related headaches.
