What to Do If You Have Consumed an Allergen

If you have accidentally eaten a Pepperoni Lover's Pizza from Pizza Hut and are allergic to Wheat, Milk, Soy, or Gluten, follow the steps below:

Seek immediate medical attention.

Contact your local healthcare provider immediately if you start experiencing symptoms like:

• Difficulty breathing
• Hives
• Swelling of your lips, face, tongue, or throat
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Rapid heartbeat
• Abdominal pain

Take antihistamine medication

Antihistamine medication can help you manage mild allergic reactions. They block the immune system's response to the allergen, relieving symptoms like itching, hives, or runny nose. Always have over-the-counter antihistamines like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or non-drowsy options like cetirizine (Zyrtec) or fexofenadine (Allegro) at hand.

If you're prone to severe reactions, you might carry an epinephrine autoinjector (EpiPen) in case of such emergencies. This medication can alleviate severe symptoms until medical help arrives.

Drink lots of water

Drinking water helps flush out allergens from your system. It can also prevent dehydration caused by other symptoms like diarrhea or vomiting.

Long Term Management with Curex

Identifying what you're allergic to and avoiding those allergens is the primary solution usually offered. But in scenarios where avoidance is not possible or feasible, immunotherapy becomes a considerable option.

What is Curex?

Curex is a leading allergy immunotherapy company that provides such treatments. Immunotherapy is a preventive treatment for allergic reactions to substances like foods and dust mites. It changes the immune system's response to allergens, potentially preventing an allergic reaction.

What Treatments Does Curex Provide?

Curex provides allergy shots or Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT) and under-the-tongue (sublingual) pills for certain types of allergens.

• Allergy Shots - Allergy shots involve gradually increasing doses of the allergen injected over several months.
• Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) - SLIT involves placing a tablet containing the allergen under the tongue for 1-2 minutes and then swallowing it.

Who Can Get Allergy Immunotherapy?

Allergy Immunotherapy is usually recommended for people who:

• Have severe allergy symptoms.
• Aren't able to avoid the allergens.
• Do not see improvements after other treatments.

Consult with your healthcare provider. Remember that managing allergies is possible - a wholesome way involving both preventive measures and treatments.
