What you may notice
Symptoms can overlap with other conditions and vary between people.
- Hives or itching
- Swelling
- Vomiting
- Breathing difficulty in a severe reaction
Understanding care
Clinical care may include allergy assessment and a clinician-written avoidance and emergency plan. A qualified clinician decides which investigations and options fit the individual situation.
When to seek help
Discuss recurrent reactions with a clinician. Throat swelling, severe breathing difficulty or fainting may indicate anaphylaxis and requires emergency services immediately.
For severe breathing difficulty, collapse, suspected stroke, or another emergency, call local emergency services immediately. In India, call 112.
