If you have an allergy, you must take the following precautions:
Avoid allergens that cause a severe reaction
Take the antihistamines prescribed by your doctor. These medications help reduce allergic symptoms.
Ask your doctor about allergy shots. Your doctor may recommend taking these shots for three to five years. These shots help provide lasting relief from allergic symptoms.
If you are at risk of anaphylaxis, always carry an epinephrine injection for an emergency.
Carry a medical card and your allergy-related information. This will help others know about your allergy, and they will be able to help you in your time of need.
