Recognize the symptoms

Recognizing the symptoms of an allergic reaction is crucial. Symptoms can vary in severity and may include:

• Hives
• Itching or skin rash
• Swelling of the lips, face, tongue, or throat
• Shortness of breath
• Wheezing
• Nausea or vomiting
• Dizziness or faintness

Seek immediate medical attention

If you start showing signs of a severe allergic reaction, known as anaphylaxis, call your local emergency number immediately. Anaphylaxis is potentially life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.

Use your EpiPen, if you have one

Individuals with known allergies might carry an EpiPen, an autoinjector that delivers a dose of epinephrine to elevate blood pressure, increase heart rate and ease breathing.

Follow medical advice

Once you've received initial medical attention, follow your healthcare provider's advice closely. You may be prescribed medication or referred for further tests or treatment.

Consult a dietitian

After your allergies have been controlled, it may be helpful to consult a dietitian. They can provide advice on maintaining a balanced diet while avoiding problematic allergens.

Be cautious in the future

Make sure to always check the ingredients of the food you are eating to avoid repeated allergic reactions. Remember that even the smallest trace of an allergen could cause a reaction. Sometimes, allergens can be hidden in food under different names, for example, casein is a protein in milk.

Remember, with the right actions and precautions, allergies can be managed effectively. Always communicate your allergies when ordering food and keep emergency medication with you at all times if you're prone to severe reactions.
