Step 1: Stay Calm and Monitor Symptoms

If you have accidentally consumed a Baked Potato from Wendy's and you're allergic to one or more of the ingredients (Milk, Soy, Wheat), firstly, stay calm. Observe whether any allergic symptoms emerge. These can include itching, hives, swelling, rashes, difficulty breathing, stomach pain, nausea or vomiting.

Step 2: Use Over-the-counter Medication

If the allergic reaction is mild, then use over-the-counter antihistamines to help relieve symptoms. These medicines can reduce the allergic reaction by blocking the histamines your body produces in response to an allergen.

Please reach out to your healthcare provider for the best OTC medicine for your specific symptoms.

Step 3: Seek Immediate Medical Attention

In case of a severe allergic reaction like anaphylaxis, which includes symptoms like difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapid heartbeat, dizziness or fainting, call your local emergency services right away. This is a medical emergency which requires immediate attention.

Step 4: Follow-Up with Allergist or Immunologist

After you have taken immediate steps, schedule an appointment with an allergist or immunologist for follow-up. They can provide advice on how to prevent future exposures and handle allergic reactions.

About Curex

Curex is a leading allergy immunotherapy company committed to developing new therapies to improve the lives of patients with allergies. They employ state-of-the-art molecular and immunological technologies to enhance immunotherapy treatments.

If you are frequently experiencing critical allergic episodes, consider allergy immunotherapy. Curex provides sublingual immunotherapy, a treatment method which involves placing a tablet containing a small amount of the allergen under the tongue. Over time, the immune system becomes less sensitive to that allergen.

While Curex's treatments represent an innovative approach to allergy treatment, they are most effective when coupled with a comprehensive management plan. This should involve avoidance of allergens, use of appropriate medications, and emergency treatment for acute attacks.

Prevention

Remember, the best strategy for managing allergies to Milk, Soy, and Wheat or any food allergens is avoidance. Make it a practice to check food labels or ask about ingredients before consuming a dish.

In restaurants like Wendy's, ask the employees about ingredients or potential allergens in the food. Most food service establishments are happy to provide this information to their customers.

Finally, make sure to carry your recommended antihistamine or epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen) at all times in case of accidental exposure and subsequent allergic reactions.
