someone with more extensive personal experience with allergies than me
(because I have never in my life had an allergy shot, you see, unless we're counting the dozens of little testing needles)
Suppose an environmental shift such that an allergy trigger abruptly gets a lot more prevalent. (Not seasonal-related.) I am assuming the response in this particular person's case is to start on allergy shots.
WebMD tells me the shots start out once or twice a week for several months, then once they're at maintenance dose level, it drops to every two to four weeks for a few months. I'm not sure when exactly I'm setting this bit relative to the environmental shift in question, but six, eight, maybe ten months later sounds reasonable?
Thing I'm trying to figure out is, how often would this person be getting his allergy shot? How badly would he expect it to go, on a personal health level, if he skipped one shot and didn't reschedule it for ASAP? Would he reasonably think, slash would it be reasonable generally to expect, that he could take over-the-counter antihistamines to bridge the gap to the next scheduled shot without his family noticing?
…no, I'm not trying to figure out how to make an identity reveal via "Adrien misses an allergy shot because Chat Noir has an akuma to beat → M. Pigeon N+1 has Chat Noir sneezing his head off" make realistic sense, why do you ask? in other news,gullwhacker, sometimes I overthink shit…
(this still isn't even important, or not terribly important to the fic I want to write here, or anyway it shouldn't be, as they have already learned each other's identities and by the time the story opens the dust from the emotion explosion has mostly settled)
