How to cure the after effects of food allergy like puffy eyes, thick tongue?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Tincture of time: Food allergy symptoms generally resolve quickly once the offending food is eliminated from the diet. Antihistamines and in more severe reactions, steroids, may help minimize and/or shorted the duration of symptoms.

Avoid the food: The body processes the food over a 2-4 day period so persistence of food reactions are common for that period. Once the protein in the food has been disassembled it will not trigger further response. You stop these effects by avoiding the food, reading small print on labels. The FDA requires processed food to include a listing of common allergens. Antihistamines can sometimes help with symptoms.
