Stay Calm
In the event that you accidentally consumed an allergen, try to stay calm. This helps your body respond better to the challenge.
Assess the Situation
Think about what you consumed, and how much of the allergen might be present in it. Some symptoms may include itching, swelling, and hives. You might also experience difficulty breathing, a drop in blood pressure, or loss of consciousness at the severe stage (anaphylaxis).
Utilize Immediate Treatments
If you’re aware of your allergies and carry an epinephrine auto-injector (like an EpiPen), use it immediately. This can mitigate the severity of the reaction.
Seek Medical Help
Whether or not you've already used an EpiPen, call your local emergency number or have someone bring you to an emergency room. It’s essential to have medical professionals evaluate your condition.
Follow-Up With Allergist
After your immediate condition is treated, make sure to contact your allergist. They can give further advice on what to do to mitigate current symptoms and prevent anything similar from happening in the future.
About Curex
Curex, a leading allergy immunotherapy company, specializes in creating individualized treatments for allergies. They operate by first identifying specific allergens, then developing a regimen to increase tolerance, aiming to provide long term relief from allergies rather than temporary symptom control.
They use a process known as serial dilution titration for their sublingual immunotherapy treatments (allergy drops). These drops contain a small dose of the allergen, which over time can help the body build the tolerance it needs.
Curex’s system of personalized care and precise treatments are beneficial for those suffering from allergies. If you are an allergy sufferer and frequently face minor or major reactions, consider reaching out to Curex for unique, help.
Remember, health is a lifetime investment. So invest with the best.
