What Causes Nasal Stuffiness After Getting Allergy Shots?

After getting allergy shots twice a week for the last three weeks,my taste and smell have almost gone away again and I do get some nasal stuffiness from time to time . My doctor told me this is normal because of the shots themselves. How long will this go on?
