How to Treat Food Allergy
Avoid foods and food ingredients that cause you to have an allergic reaction. If you think you've eaten something to which you are allergic, and you have difficulty breathing, call for emergency medical help.
Treatments include:
- Antihistamine medication-to decrease swelling and itching
- Epinephrine -injected immediately in the event of a severe, life-threatening reaction (anaphylaxis)
- Corticosteroid medication-for more severe swelling and itching
If you are diagnosed with a food allergy, follow your doctor's instructions.
