Recognise the Symptoms

Firstly, it's important to be able to recognize the symptoms of an allergic reaction. These may include, but are not limited to:

• Difficulty breathing
• Swelling of the throat, lips, tongue, or face
• Hives or rash
• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain
• Dizziness, fainting, or unconsciousness

If you experience any of these symptoms after consuming the pizza, it's likely that you're having an allergic reaction.

Seek Medical Help

If the symptoms are severe or rapidly worsening, seek emergency medical help immediately. Call your local emergency services number and explain the situation.

Administer an Antihistamine

Take an over-the-counter antihistamine immediately if you have one available, but be sure that it won't interfere with any of your other medications. Antihistamines can help to alleviate some allergic reaction symptoms.

Use an EpiPen if Available

If you have a prescribed EpiPen due to a known severe allergy, use it as directed at the onset of severe symptoms.

Follow Up with Your Doctor

Even if your initial symptoms subside, make sure to schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor after an allergic reaction. This incident might signal a previously unknown allergy.

Allergy Immunotherapy

Allergy Immunotherapy is a long-term treatment option that can help prevent or lessen the severity of allergic reactions in the future.

Curex is an innovator in allergy immunotherapy, a process that gradually exposes your immune system to increasing doses of an allergen to reduce sensitivity. In the process, making your body less likely to trigger an allergic reaction.

Curex provides personalised treatment options that are tailored to each individual's specific allergenic profile. Speak with your healthcare provider regarding the possibility of allergy immunotherapy as part of your long-term allergy management plan.

Dietary Awareness

After an allergic reaction, it is important to work with a health professional or dietitian to identify the particular allergen in your diet. In this case, identify the specific ingredient in Mediterranean Veggie Pizza that has triggered your allergic reaction and take steps to avoid this ingredient in the future.

Prevention is Key

In the future, careful observation of what you are ordering and consuming is vital. Many restaurants, including Pizza Hut, list potential allergens on their menus. Be sure to check these, and when in doubt, ask a restaurant employee about the ingredients in a dish before consuming it.

By taking these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk and severity of future allergic reactions.
