Identify the Allergic Reaction

Identify if you are experiencing an allergic reaction. Symptoms of a food allergy can vary but often include hives, swelling of the lips, face, tongue, throats or other parts of the body, itching or tingling in the mouth, difficulty breathing, dizziness, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

Seek Immediate Medical Attention

If you're experiencing severe symptoms like difficulty breathing or dizziness, it's crucial to seek emergency medical help immediately. For mild symptoms, call your healthcare provider and let them know what has happened, including the food you ingested and any symptoms you're experiencing.

Administer Self-Treatment if Available

If you have a diagnosed allergy and carry an EpiPen, use it right away, even if your symptoms are minor. Sometimes symptoms can worsen rapidly, so it's better to use it sooner rather than later.

Follow-Up Care

After initial treatment, be sure to make a follow-up appointment with your allergist. If you didn't previously know you were allergic to any components in the cheese sticks, you would now need to have allergy testing to confirm.

Avoid Future Contact with the Allergen

Avoid having contact with your allergen as much as possible. In the case of Pizza Hut Cheese Sticks, you would avoid eating them since they contain your allergen, but also be cautious of other pizza items since cross-contamination is common.

Develop an Allergy Action Plan

Finally, work with your healthcare provider to create an allergy action plan. This will outline your allergens, daily treatment, symptoms of a reaction, and what to do in case of an allergy emergency. This will be particularly helpful for future situations when you accidentally ingest your allergen again.
