Treatment Of Alcohol Allergy

The only way to avoid symptoms of intolerance of alcohol or an allergic reaction is to avoid alcohol or drink given or ingredients that cause the problem. For a minor reaction on the counter or prescription antihistamines can help reduce symptoms. These medicines can help relieve symptoms such as itching or hives. However, antihistamines can not treat a severe allergic reaction.

If you have had a severe allergic reaction to food, wear a medical alert bracelet or necklace that lets others know you have an allergy if you have a reaction and are unable to communicate. Ask your doctor if you need to carry an emergency epinephrine (adrenaline) in the form of an auto-injector (EpiPen or Twinject). This device has the prescription of a hidden needle that injects a dose of adrenaline when pressed against your thigh.
