1. One of the first tasks is always to get a thorough test done so you know what foods the child is allergic to and can cause a problem. 
2. Once the list of allergens has been figured out, it is important that those foods are strictly avoided. This requires labeling of food, checking for cross-contamination in food preparation as well as informing others about these allergies. Whenever you are going out to a restaurant or sending a kid to someone’s place, on a trip, or anything- make sure that the adult in charge knows about these food allergies. It is also important that you inform the kid about the allergies so that they can also look out for such foods and avoid it. 
3. The next step is keeping an EPI pen. EPI pens are auto-injectors that can be used whenever the kid is exposed to an allergen. These help with food allergies and managing the symptoms. 
4. Antihistamines are medications that can also help in alleviating mild allergy symptoms. However, they are not extremely effective in case of severe food reactions. 
5. It is very important that if your child has a food allergy, you visit a doctor and try to understand the ways to deal with it. Some doctors might also suggest oral immunotherapy in which the child is gradually and slowly introduced to bits and pieces of the allergic food so that they can become desensitized and the immunity system can build resistance to it.
