What Type Of Medicine Can A Person Take In The Morning To Help With Allergies That Will Help

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Venice, FL

when I have breakfast in the morning and here is a different bread that I haven't had before than 30 minutes later my throat get sore and lips start to hurt.

A MyFoodAllergyTeam Member

I am now taking a allergy pill first thing in the morning. It seems to help me some. Thanks to everyone for the updates. Happy Holidays.
