Good Advice!! I always call my local Pharmacist. When swallowing that pill...it feels best to have peace of mind!

I would say try it and see, I am prescribed anti histamine citrizine for all allergies but you may have been prescribed something different and may not be suitable. Why not give your doctor a call or as suggested the pharmacist.

If taking the anti histamine doesn't work definitely check in with your doctor for further advice.

I was allergic to tomatoes as a child. My GP told my mother at the time ‘if she never eats another tomatoe in her life she won’t be missing much’. I actually grew out of the allergy and can eat them now although it’s a take it or leave it type of food to me. Maybe just avoid eating them. Joy. x

All I know is that you cannot take antihistamine along with the common drug betahistine. Good luck. P

This probably sounds a silly question but why don’t you just stop eating tomatoes
