It is not possible to prevent an allergic reaction to eggs. Instead, treatments are aimed at relieving allergy-related symptoms. 

Like other food allergies, allergic reactions to eggs usually result in symptoms that affect the nose, throat, lungs, skin and gastrointestinal tract. These symptoms can be treated with several types of medications, including:

• Antihistamines. Medications that provide relief for more basic allergy symptoms such as hives, sneezing, runny nose and gastrointestinal conditions. Antihistamines directly counteract the effects of the histamines, which are responsible for most egg allergy symptoms. With mild symptoms, these drugs are usually administered orally. For more severe allergic reactions, a physician may recommend an injected form of antihistamine.
  
  

  

• Bronchodilators. Medications that open the airways of the lungs, relieving symptoms such as shortness of breath or wheezing. They may be recommended for people whose egg allergies trigger asthma attacks or asthma-like symptoms. They are usually breathed directly into the lungs using an inhaler.
  
  
• Epinephrine injection. A synthetic form of adrenaline that, when injected, is a powerful bronchodilator, opening breathing tubes and restoring normal respiration quickly. It is usually reserved for the most severe allergic reactions that involve anaphylaxis. Most physicians recommend that individuals who are susceptible to severe egg reactions carry an injection of epinephrine with them at all times and understand how to self–administer the drug. A medical alert bracelet or necklace is also a good idea for these individuals.
  
  
• Corticosteroids. Medications that reduce inflammation. These medications are most commonly used to treat severe allergic reactions in infants.

Most young children or infants who develop an allergy to eggs will outgrow the condition by the age of 5 or 6. This is thought to be a result of the immune system gradually maturing as the child grows older. Some individuals with egg allergies maintain the condition throughout their adult lives, however.
