Identify Your Reaction
 
After ingesting a food allergen, it is crucial to quickly identify the type and severity of your allergic reaction. Common symptoms include hives, swelling, dizziness, difficulty breathing, or gastrointestinal discomfort.

Seek Immediate Medical Attention
 
If you experience severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, a swollen throat, or a drop in blood pressure, seek emergency medical treatment immediately. This could be a sign of anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening reaction that requires prompt intervention.

Administer Emergency Medication
 
If you have been prescribed an epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen) for severe allergies, use it as instructed at the onset of symptoms. Make sure you and those around you know how to use it properly.

Stay Calm and Monitor Symptoms
 
Try to remain as calm as possible to avoid aggravating your symptoms. Monitor your symptoms closely, and if they worsen, ensure that you seek medical help immediately.

Follow Up with a Healthcare Provider
 
Even if symptoms subside after taking medication, it is essential to follow up with a healthcare professional. They might recommend further action or evaluation, including allergy testing or treatment options.

Consider Allergy Immunotherapy
