🌿 What Immunotherapy Looks Like in Real Life 🌿

At Shepherd Allergy, Dr. Meagan Shepherd helps patients go beyond just managing symptoms — with allergy immunotherapy (allergy shots or drops).

✨ It’s a personalized plan designed to retrain your immune system.

✨ Over time, your body becomes less reactive to triggers like pollen, dust, or pet dander.

✨ The result? Fewer symptoms, less medication, and more freedom in daily life.

💉 Immunotherapy is more than treatment — it’s long-term relief.

📍 Offered right here at Shepherd Allergy with Dr. Meagan Shepherd.

Allergies or Cold? Here’s how to tell ⬇️

✨ Allergies → Itchy eyes/nose, clear runny nose, sneezing fits, coughing, sore throat; lasts weeks or months; no fever.

✨ Cold → The same symptoms with less itching PLUS possible fever/aches; lasts about 7–10 days.

👉 Quick tip: Itchy = allergies. Fever/aches = cold.

When should you use a spacer?

Dr. Meagan Shepherd at Shepherd Allergy recommends a spacer for anyone using a metered-dose inhaler — especially kids or those who struggle to coordinate a quick, deep breath.

✨ A spacer makes sure more medicine gets into your lungs (where it’s needed most) instead of lingering in your mouth or throat.

👉 Ask your allergy & asthma provider if a spacer could make your inhaler routine more effective.
