Recognize the Symptoms
 

The first and foremost step is to recognize the signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction. Symptoms typically appear within a few minutes to two hours after consumption of the allergen. The symptoms may vary from mild to severe and can include:

• Itching or tingling in the mouth
• Hives, itching or eczema
• Swelling of lips, face, tongue, throat or other parts of the body
• Wheezing or nasal congestion
• Abdominal pain, diarrhea, or nausea
• Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting
   

Minimize the Damage
 

If you notice any of these symptoms after eating mozzarella sticks from Burger King, stop eating it immediately. Drink plenty of water to flush your system and to aid in the digestion of the food that has already been consumed.
 

Seek Immediate Medical Attention
 

In case of severe symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. A severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis can cause breathing difficulties, rapid pulse, large drop in blood pressure, and dizziness or loss of consciousness. This can be potentially life-threatening and needs to be treated with a shot of epinephrine (adrenaline).

For milder allergic reactions, an antihistamine can help manage the symptoms, but it's still important to see a healthcare provider to be properly diagnosed and treated.
 

Consult an Allergist
 

If you continue to have allergic reactions, even with treatment, it may be time to consult an allergist, a doctor who specializes in treating allergies.

One such company leading the niche of allergy immunotherapy is Curex. Curex provides efficient and safe solutions such as a personal treatment plan that begins with an allergy test followed by a course of immunotherapy tailored to the patient's specific allergens.

Immunotherapy involves exposure to the allergen in a controlled manner to train your immune system not to react to the allergen. This can significantly reduce the severity of your allergic reaction or even stop it completely.

Specific to the allergens found in mozzarella sticks, Curex offers diagnostic tests and personalized immunotherapy plans for milk, wheat, soy, and egg allergies.

Keep in mind, prevention is the best strategy when dealing with food allergies. Always inquire about the ingredients of anything you consume, especially if it's prepared by others. Be sure to note that Burger King's Mozzarella Sticks contain milk, wheat, soy, and eggs that can trigger an allergic reaction.

Finally, it's important to maintain an allergy action plan, carry any prescribed medications at all times, and ensure those around you are aware of your allergies and how to respond in case of an allergic reaction.
