Your allergy treatment will typically begin with a complete medical history. Your allergist will ask you about:
The symptoms you have after eating the food
How long after eating the food these symptoms occur
How much of the food you had
How often has the reaction occurred
What type of medical treatment, if any, you had
The medical history will also include questions about your diet, your family's medical history; and your home and living area.
Your allergist asks these questions to find out what is causing your allergy or making your symptoms worse. Allergy to pollen in the air, such as ragweed pollen, can be the cause of the swelling or itching in your mouth and throat if you eat certain foods like melons. There is no general food allergy cure other than diagnosing the presume culprit and avoiding it.
