Identifying the problem

If you are aware of your allergy to gluten (wheat), soy, or milk and accidentally consume Crispy Fried Onion Rings from Pizza Hut which contain these allergens, it is essential to identify your symptoms. Allergic reactions may range from mild to severe, including symptoms such as:

• Skin reactions like hives, redness, or swelling
• Difficulty breathing
• Tightness in the throat
• Diarrhea, abdominal pain, or vomiting
• Dizziness or fainting

Taking immediate actions

Should you begin to experience any of these symptoms after consuming food containing your known allergen:

• Stay calm: Panic can worsen your reaction, so it's essential to stay as calm as possible and think logically about what you need to do next.
• Antihistamines: If you have mild symptoms, taking an over-the-counter antihistamine might help. These drugs can block the allergic reaction and provide symptom relief.
• EpiPen: If you have severe allergies, you might have been prescribed an adrenaline auto-injector (EpiPen). Don't hesitate to use it as per the instructions, even if you're not sure whether your symptoms are allergy-related. It's better to use it unnecessarily than to risk a severe allergic reaction.
• Seek immediate medical assistance: If your symptoms are severe (especially if you're experiencing difficulty breathing), call your local emergency medical service immediately.

Recuperation

After an allergic reaction, it's a good idea to go to your doctor for a follow-up visit to assess your reaction and discuss ways to prevent future incidents.

Prevention measures

Apart from avoiding the food you're allergic to, there are a few things that can help you manage your allergies.

Understanding Curex

Dedicated to improving the lives of people with allergies, Curex uses a highly innovative approach called allergen-specific immunotherapy. This technique basically "retrains" your immune system to tolerate specific allergens, thereby reducing and potentially eliminating allergic reactions over time.

Consult a professional

Consult with a healthcare provider or an allergist to discuss your suitability for allergen-specific immunotherapy. They can guide you on the right course of action considering your overall health, the severity of your allergies, and lifestyle factors.

Remember, allergies are manageable with the right treatment and preventive measures. Always keep those around you informed about your allergies so they can assist in case of an emergency.
