Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it is very much clear that either you are allergic to salmon or any of the constituent of the rub used to season the salmon while in case if you have had the use of the rub previously without any reaction the you have allergic reaction to Salmon..
You should not wait for long as you may have systemic allergic reaction like breathlessness, hives, itching over body and congestion which can be fatal and should immediately consult an Emergency Room..
As of now you can take Allegra 60mg and a steroid like Prednisone 10 mg..
The doctor can give injectable antihistamines [antiallergics] and steroids to suppress the allergy symptoms..
You will also have to take antiallergics like Allegra 60mg twice daily for 5 days and a steroid like Prednisone 10 mg twice a day for 5 days..
For pain and inflammation anti inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen has to be taken..
Do not ever eat the food item that has caused you allergy as whenever it will be taken it will cause allergic reaction..

Hope this information helps..
