Some treatments for asthma and allergies are delivered through a shot that you do yourself. Dr. Dave Stukus shares tips to prepare yourself if you have needle phobia.
Epinephrine auto-injectors are easy-to-use devices to administer emergency medicine (epinephrine) when someone is having a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis). It’s important to practice how to use the device you have.
There are also medicines that may get injected every few weeks to help control the immune system for asthma or food allergy. These are called biologics. You may receive these shots under medical supervision for the first few doses, and then you continue the treatment at home.
