Identifying an Allergic Reaction

If you've consumed a Chicken Nugget from Burger King and have allergies to Wheat, Soy, Egg, or Milk, it's essential to identify any allergic reaction immediately. Common symptoms may include:

• Skin reactions, such as hives, itching, or eczema
• Swelling of the face, lips or tongue
• Breathing difficulties
• Dizziness or fainting
• Stomach pain or vomiting

Immediate Actions

If you experience any of these symptoms after eating the item, do not panic. Here's what you should do:

Contact medical help immediately. If you have a known food allergy and start experiencing symptoms, it’s essential to get medical help as quickly as possible. If you have an auto-injector pen (EpiPen), use it without delay.

Only use an antihistamine if you are experiencing mild symptoms. Severe reactions, especially those involving breathing difficulties, require immediate medical attention.

Long Term Management

After addressing any immediate symptoms, consider how you can prevent future allergic reactions.

Avoid the allergen. If you know you're allergic to one of the ingredients in the chicken nuggets, avoid these at Burger King or any other eating establishments.

Talk to your doctor about allergy testing. If you’re not sure what caused the reaction, discussing allergy testing options with your doctor can identify your sensitivities and help prevent future reactions.

Consider an allergy immunotherapy. If avoidance and medications aren't effectively managing your allergies, immunotherapy may be an option.
