Food Allergy Treatment - What You Can Do When Your Allergies Flare Up
If you're susceptible to food allergies, avoidance may be your best food allergy treatment. By avoiding the foods that cause their allergic reactions, most people find they can get by without needing other treatments such as immunotherapy or prescription drugs. Still, accidents happen and there are treatments available if you unknowingly ingest any food allergens.
For a mild allergic reaction, an over-the-counter or prescribed antihistamine can be an effective food allergy treatment. Antihistamines help to relieve any itching, hives, or rashes that may have arisen after you were exposed to a food allergen. While this may work on minor symptoms, it is not a successful treatment for more severe cases.
People who are prone to serious allergic reactions are encouraged to head to an emergency room if they have an attack. However, an emergency visit may be avoidable if suffers carry an EpiPen. This food allergy treatment, which is composed of a syringe/concealed needle filled with a single dose of medication, can potentially lessen a reaction when applied to the thigh during the early stages of a severe allergic attack.
If your doctor prescribed you an epinephrine autoinjector (EpiPen):
Make sure to carry it with you at all times. You can also benefit from having an extra EpiPen in your car or at your work desk.
Make sure you're aware of your EpiPen's expiration date. Always replace your autoinjector before then or it may not work correctly.
Make sure you know how to use the EpiPen properly, and teach friends and family how to administer a dose as well in case of an emergency.
Although there isn't a cure for food allergies, researchers are conducting ongoing studies to find better food allergy treatment options, and ways to prevent attacks altogether. So for now, as stated earlier, the best "treatment" is to avoid the foods you're allergic to. Consult a physician or allergist to help you discover which foods to avoid, and if you have a true food allergy or another food related issue, and what the cause of your food allergy may be.
