Why is Allegra not working to stop the itchy skin bumps and swollen lips I get after eating rice or street foods, and what is the best way to treat this reaction?

Asked by Male, 28 · 2 hours ago

Allegra (fexofenadine) is a daily antihistamine that may not be strong or fast enough to stop acute, food-triggered reactions like swollen lips and hives. Since lip swelling can sometimes lead to breathing difficulties, it is very important to identify the exact cause. I gently recommend avoiding these trigger foods for now and seeing an allergist for testing. They can prescribe emergency medication, like an epinephrine auto-injector, to keep you safe. If you ever experience swelling in your throat or difficulty breathing, please seek emergency medical care immediately.
