What happens if i know i'ma eat something i am slightly allergic to, should i eat allergy medicine before hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If you know you are allergic to a food it is probably best to avoid that food. However if you have only had some mouth itching or tongue itching, the allergy could be what is called oral allergy syndrome and should not cause any other issues. Please see allergist for future evaluation and advice on what medications you should carry/ take in the case of an allergic reaction
