Food Allergy Management and Treatment

Food allergy management involves avoiding allergens that trigger reactions, understanding food labels, and communicating with restaurants and caregivers. Treatment focuses on immediate responses, such as using antihistamines for mild reactions and carrying an epinephrine auto-injector for severe reactions, like anaphylaxis. It’s essential to create an emergency action plan, know symptoms, and educate friends and family. Long-term management may include working with healthcare providers to monitor the allergy and explore options like oral immunotherapy. Always prioritize safety and vigilance to prevent accidental exposure.
