Recognize the Symptoms

The initial step to take is to identify if you are having an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction can show itself in a number of ways and the severity can vary a lot. Here are common symptoms to look out for:

• Difficulty breathing or wheezing
• Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
• Feeling lightheaded or faint
• Hives, rash or itching
• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or stomach cramps
• Red, watery, or itchy eyes
• Runny or congested nose

Initial Steps to Take

• If you experience mild symptoms such as itching or localized rash, take over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamines to treat the allergic reaction.
• For severe reactions like difficulty breathing or feeling faint, inject EpiPen or any other brand of autoinjectable epinephrine if you have one and call 911 without delay.
• If applicable, inform people nearby about your allergy and situation. They can assist in calling for emergency help.

Medical Treatment

Even if your initial symptoms are mild, you should still seek medical attention to monitor your health status. After the initial treatment, it's important to make an appointment with an allergist who can advise you on long-term treatment strategies.

Prevention

In order to avoid such cases in the future, be cautious about what you eat. Nowadays, restaurants and food companies, including McDonald's, are required to provide allergen information. Always check this information before consuming food if you have a known allergy.

Remember to inform the staff about your allergy when you're ordering food. If possible, carry an EpiPen with you, and let those around you know about your allergies so they can assist in case of an emergency.

Remember, managing an allergy involves being proactive about your health and well-being, and acting quickly if you do consume an allergen unknowingly.
