Living with a child’s food allergy means constantly being on guard. You read every label, pack every meal, and carry emergency medication everywhere you go. It’s exhausting and sometimes terrifying.
At B&B Sinus and Allergy Relief Centers, we offer a safe, long-term treatment plan that gives families a new option. Our program is built around sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), a gentle, research-based way to gradually reduce the severity of allergic reactions in children. Over time, this approach helps lower the risk of serious responses to accidental exposure so families can breathe easier.
We treat many of the most common childhood food allergies. If your child is allergic to one or more of the following, our team will evaluate whether they’re a candidate for SLIT:
All testing and dosing plans are customized based on your child’s results and medical history.
We don’t promise your child will one day eat their allergen freely. But we do offer a thoughtful, step-by-step process to help their immune system become less reactive—so that an accidental bite doesn’t always have to be a crisis.
Here’s what to expect when you begin:
Treatment typically lasts 3 to 5 years, and while full “freedom to eat” is not the goal, many families report dramatic improvements in confidence, safety, and quality of life.
Many parents come to us after years of being told to simply avoid the allergen. But complete avoidance isn’t always possible… and it’s not the only option.
Our approach gives families:
At B&B, we combine the latest allergy science with personalized care. We don’t treat your child like a chart—we treat them like family.
When it comes to food allergy treatment, safety is everything. That’s why our team is trained not just in allergy care, but in emergency response protocols specific to pediatric food allergy.
We are equipped to respond quickly and effectively to any symptoms that may arise during treatment or testing. In addition to on-site medications like epinephrine, antihistamines, and steroids, our providers use flexible laryngoscopy to assess airway function and detect early signs of throat swelling.
And because data and observation guide our treatments, you’ll never have to guess what your child can handle. We measure progress, and ensure you’re not doing it alone.
If this sounds like your life, you're not alone. We listen to parents' worries every day about things like:
This program won’t erase that worry overnight. But it can help you move forward with more confidence and less fear. When your child is less reactive, your world opens up.
This isn’t a cure… but it’s a breakthrough for many families.
After completing the program, many children are able to tolerate trace amounts of their allergens with little to no symptoms. Parents report that their child no longer reacts to minor cross-contamination, and that they feel safer sending them to school, camp, or grandma’s house without fear of a severe reaction.
That kind of progress matters. It’s not just physical… it’s emotional relief for the whole family.
SLIT stands for sublingual immunotherapy. It involves placing small doses of an allergen under the tongue daily. The idea is to help the body build a slow and steady tolerance over time—reducing the risk of severe allergic reactions from accidental exposure.
Not freely. Our goal is to help the body tolerate small amounts of the allergen—enough to prevent a serious reaction if it’s accidentally consumed, not to add it back into the diet completely.
These are in-clinic appointments where your child is given a small amount of the allergen under close supervision. They help us understand how your child is responding to treatment. These are optional and not used as part of regular therapy.
Most children continue with SLIT for 3 to 5 years. Some families begin to see measurable changes—like improved blood markers or reduced skin test reactivity—within the first few months.
Yes. SLIT is generally well tolerated, and our staff is trained to manage any symptoms that do occur. We also take precautions during every visit, especially when introducing new allergens or increasing doses.
Coverage varies widely. Some insurance plans may cover testing or parts of the protocol. Our team will provide documentation and answer questions, but we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly.
