What Are The Treatments For Allergy After Having Tapioca?

I accidentally fed my husband something with tapioca starch in it, and he has a tapioca allergy. He is not anaphylactic but his eyes are watering and swelling and his nose is stuffing up. Is there something that I may have in my home or refrigerator that I could give him to counteract the tapioca?

Hi,
These are the signs of allergy.
You can give antihistamine drugs like cetrizine or chlorpheneramine maleate and any steroid oral preparation like prednisolone etc if you have.These will help him.

If emergency or if reaction worsens you need to consult your doctor ASAP.

Wish your husband faster recovery.
Regards
