Pollen Tablets Alleviates Hay Fever And Asthma In Children

About 20 years ago, I had allergy shots for several years. They did help, but it would have been nice if this grass pollen method had been available then.

Immunotherapy Alleviates Hay Fever And Asthma In Children
ScienceDaily (Jan. 21, 2009) — Taking one grass pollen tablet every day can alleviate hay fever and asthma in children.

These are the results of a study by medical experts in the team led by Prof. Dr. Albrecht Bufe (Experimental Pneumology) at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. The study was carried out jointly with national colleagues and featured 253 children. Under this particular treatment, asthma symptoms declined by 64% and hay fever symptoms by 24%. The results are published in the current issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
