Regarding food allergy
Hello Doctor,
I have been suffering from hives for 3 years, it happens occasionally like if I ate something like peanut butter or
Taro vegetable or junk food regularly. So, I get extreme itching, and then it converts into red round rashes.
Now, when it comes to taking a vaccine for covid I'm a little apprehensive about it, should I take it or not, or if I take it then which vaccine I should go for or should I wait for another country's vaccine to arrive in India (like- Sputnik, Pfizer)?
Your suggestion would be highly appreciated.
PFA the pic of my allergy for your reference.
Thank you

You can take vaccine, but avoid taking antihistamines a day before getting vaccinated. And of course you should not be on any immunosuppressive medicines.
