Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians. Patients may wish to ask their doctors the following questions regarding alternative allergy treatments:

1. Are there alternative allergy treatments available for my condition? Do you recommend them?
   
   
2. Can I use alternative allergy treatments in combination with my prescription allergy medication?
   
   
3. Can I use alternative allergy treatments in place of my prescription allergy medication?
   
   
4. Another doctor recommended that I undergo an alternative allergy treatment. What do you know about the treatment?
   
   
5. Have any of your patients reported improvement after the use of an alternative allergy treatment? Might I benefit from these therapies?
   
   
6. Can you recommend a reputable provider of the alternative therapy I am considering?
   
   
7. What risks might the alternative therapy I am considering pose for me?
