At the age of 5, his skin has been red, swollen and itchy since childhood, and when he was 3 years old, he underwent the latest generation of immunoglobulin E (IgE) allergy test, and the test results showed that he was allergic to dust mites and suffered from severe eczema, and at the same time found that he had food allergies to milk, eggs and oats. By the age of 5, his immune system had stabilized and he was able to regularly take sublingual desensitization solution under his tongue every day.

We understand that many parents are anxious to manage eczema in young children and may wish to explore treatment options that help reduce flare-ups and support long-term control. Immunotherapy usually requires daily use over a sustained period to help the body gradually adapt to specific allergens, so younger children may find it harder to follow consistently. Children aged around 5 or 6 are often considered a practical starting point, depending on clinical assessment.
