OTC fast acting meds for food allergies

Which is the best OTC fast act medication for food allergies available in the U.S.? I've never used an EPI pen because pills have worked for me so far.

I tried fresh jackfruit today and my throat felt like it was closing. No issue breathing, but it was very difficult to swallow. I took dissolving Claritin and it worked but only after 15 minutes or so.

I assume there are better options out there.
