In recent years, our country has devoted considerable attention to the study of food allergies in children, which in many respects remains understudied; in particular, ways to improve the effectiveness of specific treatment are being sought. Attempts to use specific hypersensitization with food allergens in children and adults by oral, inhalation, subcutaneous and rectal methods have not yielded the desired results. The sublingual method, successfully tested for the first time on several adult patients, proved to be more promising. The efficacy of this method used in children with food allergies was 70-80%.
