### Patient: Doctor, I seem to have a food allergy. Whenever I eat something containing nuts, I develop rashes, hives and breathing difficulties. What medication should I take for this?
### Doctor: You will need to take a combination of medications for your food allergy. Firstly, you should carry Diphenhydramine(Benadryl) at all times. In case of any allergic symptoms, take it immediately. You should also carry Epinephrine auto-injector with yourself. Secondly, Famotidine should reduce stomach acid and inhibit the production of histamine. You may also take Cetirizine (Zyrtec) or Montelukast (Singulair) to reduce nasal congestion and inflammation. Lastly, in severe cases, Prednisolone, Hydrocortisone Topical or Triamcinolone may be prescribed. Budesonide or Fluticasone Topical Product could be used for skin and nasal allergies. Ketotifen Ophthalmic and Bepotastine Ophthalmic helps to relieve itchy eyes.
