Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions related to food allergy treatment:

1. What are my treatment options?
   
   
2. What side effects are associated with my allergy medications?
   
   
3. Am I a candidate for allergy shots?
   
   
4. Should I carry an allergy kit with me at all times?
   
   
5. What foods should I try to avoid?
   
   
6. What terms should I look for when reading an ingredient label?
   
   
7. What is the first thing I should do if I accidentally eat a problem food?
   
   
8. When does an allergic reaction require a visit to the hospital?
   
   
9. Should I still go to the hospital if I feel better after a dose of epinephrine?
   
   
10. Would I benefit from any alternative allergy treatments?
