Evaluate Your Reaction
If you have already eaten the Pizza Sub from Subway and you are allergic to one of the allergens (gluten, wheat, milk, soy or eggs) present in the pizza, it is crucial to evaluate and monitor your body's reaction. Mild symptoms might include hives, itching, nasal congestion or a rash.
However, if you experience difficulty breathing, swelling of your lips, tongue or throat, fainting, dizziness or anaphylaxis, you should seek immediate medical attention as these symptoms can be life-threatening.
Self-Care Measures
If your reaction is mild, over-the-counter or prescribed antihistamines may help reduce symptoms. These medications can relieve itching and hives. However, consult with your doctor before taking any medicine.
Ensure to drink plenty of water to flush out the allergen and also to prevent dehydration caused by common allergy symptoms like diarrhea and excessive sweating.
Quick Useful Tips
