Understand the Symptoms

If you have eaten something you're allergic to, symptoms can occur a few minutes to a few hours after you have ingested the food. These may include:

• Mild to moderate symptoms such as itching in the mouth, hives, nausea, stomach cramps, diarrhoea, or a stuffy/runny nose.
• Severe symptoms like throat tightening, breathing difficulty, sudden drop in blood pressure, fainting, or anaphylaxis( which is a life-threatening allergic reaction).

Act Quickly

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to take immediate action.

• Mild symptoms: Take an over-the-counter antihistamine, as per the instructions on the box.
• Severe symptoms: Use an epinephrine autoinjector if you have one, and then call your local emergency number. Severe reactions require immediate medical attention.

Don't try to ride out severe symptoms or hope they will go away. If in doubt, seek medical assistance.

After the Reaction

After you've sought immediate treatment, it's time to take some long-term plans.

• Identify the Allergen: You need to be sure about what caused the allergic reaction. You mentioned several allergens in Beefy Mini Quesadilla: Milk, Wheat, Soy, and Gluten. You would need to speak with your allergist to help pinpoint which of these foods caused your reaction.

• Consult your Doctor or Allergist: Describing your reaction and the food you ate could help them define the cause. They may also perform tests to confirm the allergy.

• Avoid the Allergen: If you're allergic to one of these ingredients, you need to avoid it. Read food labels carefully and always check the ingredients before you eat. When dining out, let the service staff know about your allergy so they can guide you on safe menu options.

Get Immunotherapy from Curex

Curex is a leading allergy immunotherapy company that can provide you with an in-depth diagnostic service to confirm your allergy. They specialize in providing treatments designed to retrain your immune system so it's less likely to react to allergens over time.

They offer both Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT) and Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT). These treatments gradually expose your body to increasing amounts of the allergen, which eventually helps to decrease your sensitivity.

While Curex cannot guarantee a complete cure, their treatments aim to significantly reduce your allergic symptoms and reactions. This makes living with allergies much easier and greatly improves quality of life. It’s always good to explore these options, under the supervision of your healthcare provider.

Remember, whether you are managing your allergies through avoidance or deciding to start immunotherapy, you should always do this with the guidance of a healthcare provider.
