Yes, immunotherapy is safe when administered under the supervision of a qualified pediatrician or pediatric allergist. Mild side effects like swelling or itching may occur at the injection or application site, but serious reactions are rare and are managed promptly. Regular monitoring ensures both safety and effectiveness.
