Find Out the Allergens

First, identify the substance causing your allergic reaction. The allergens present in a spicy chicken sandwich from Burger King may include wheat, gluten, eggs, soy, and milk. You may also react to the spices used in preparation.

Symptoms and Reaction

Watch out for any signs of adverse reactions. Some of the potential symptoms can range from mild to severe, including a runny nose, sneezing, itching, rash, fatigue, headache, nausea, or anaphylaxis.

Act Immediately

If you exhibit any of these symptoms, take immediate action depending on the severity of your reaction:

• Mild reactions - For symptoms such as itchiness or a slight rash, a simple antihistamine might help to alleviate discomfort.
• Anaphylaxis - This is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate medical intervention. Symptoms include difficulty breathing, a sharp drop in blood pressure, and dizziness. If you carry an epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen), use it immediately and dial your local emergency number.

Consult a Healthcare Provider

Whether you've managed to control your symptoms or not, it's important to seek medical advice after the allergic reaction. Contact your healthcare provider or allergy specialist, inform them about what happened, and heed their advice on the next steps.
