Sublingual allergy immunotherapy (SLIT) means “under the tongue” and involves tablets or liquid drops that are dissolved in the mouth. Unlike antihistamines and other medications that only alleviate symptoms, sublingual immunotherapy treats the condition itself. When your body is exposed to a large amount of a triggering allergen, your immune system kicks in, trying to get rid of it. However, controlled, repeated exposure to an allergen helps your immune system build up resistance, eventually tolerating the allergen.
