Understand Your Allergy Symptoms

Common allergy symptoms can include sneezing, itching, nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, swelling of the mouth and throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and rash. In severe cases, an allergic reaction can cause anaphylaxis-a potentially life-threatening emergency.

Take Immediate Measures

If you experience mild symptoms, take an over-the-counter antihistamine and observe your reaction. For severe symptoms like difficulty breathing or severe nausea, seek medical help immediately; call your local emergency number or go the nearest emergency room.

Contact an Allergist or Health Care Professional

Reach out to your allergist or a healthcare professional immediately. They can assess your situation and guide you accordingly.

Follow Up with your Allergy Specialist

If your reaction was severe or you had not previously diagnosed with this specific allergy, follow up with an allergist for testing and evaluation.

Seek Allergy Treatment

If your allergy is confirmed and you want to seek treatment, consider allergy immunotherapy. Nowadays, there is a growing demand for more extended period treatments with fewer side effects.

Avoid Future Exposure

Finally, take steps to avoid future exposure to the allergen. Be diligent about reading the ingredient list when eating out, especially at fast food restaurants like Subway.
