Check for immediate symptoms

If you've accidentally consumed a Grilled Chicken Sandwich from Burger King and you are allergic to Wheat, Soy, Eggs or Milk, check immediately for signs of an allergic reaction. These symptoms may include hives, swelling, itching, difficulty in breathing, dizziness and gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting, diarrhea or stomach cramps.

Contact medical help

In case of a severe allergic reaction, also known as anaphylaxis, call emergency services right away. Severe symptoms include tightening of the throat, chest pain or tightness, severe shortness of breath, trouble swallowing, significant swelling of the lips or tongue, and a weak pulse.

Take personal allergy medication

If your symptoms are not severe, but you know you're having an allergic reaction, take an over-the-counter antihistamine if you have one. This will help to reduce some common symptoms.

You may also use an auto-injector (like an EpiPen) if you have been prescribed to one due to high severity of your allergies.

Seek medical advice

Regardless of the severity of your initial reaction, it's important to seek medical advice following an allergic reaction. You should visit an allergist who can help you to understand how to effectively manage your allergies and prevent future reactions.
