Manage episode 524954394 series 3642496
Food allergies don’t always mean a lifetime of fear and strict avoidance. In Part 2 of our food allergy series on Is This Normal, Doc?, we’re joined again by Katherine Jenkins, DNP, FNP-C, to talk through today’s allergy treatment options—what actually exists, who may be a candidate, and what treatment can realistically look like for kids and adults.
We dive into oral immunotherapy (OIT), how it works, what the process involves, and common misconceptions families have when considering allergy treatment. If you or your child has a food allergy and you’ve ever wondered, “Is there anything we can do about this?”—this episode is for you.
