Have allergy to food. No medication as off now. What is the cure for this?
Patient: I ave become allergic to a lot of foods and things over the past 5/6 yrs and take benadryl to relieve the allergic reactions; hives, itch and such.  I always take one then two then three to help it settle down and a shower.  The other night I had to take 5 and it was horrible, took a while before I was okay. Is there somthing else I should be doing?  I had an epi pen twice but it expired and then I wasnT sure if I really needed it. Doctor: Hello and Welcome to HCM,  Thanks for writing to us. The only way to avoid an allergic reaction is to avoid the foods that cause signs and symptoms. oral immunotherapy (OIT) as a treatment for food allergy. If you have any suspicion at all that a food may contain something you're allergic to, steer clear. visit the allergist and get the treatment according to that. Hope this helps you. Wishing you good health... Regards.
